If one were to cross the sweet grooving persona of Ellen
Degeneres with Denis Leary’s raunchy sarcasm, the result
would be Poppy Champlin. Poppy erupts onto the stage
without fanfare, but with enough energy to take down the
house in her first minute of comedy. Rapid fire jokes
interspersed with comedic songs keep her audiences
laughing and coming back.

Her stand-up pedigree is flawless; from VH-1, to A&E,
Oprah Winfrey and Joan Rivers to her newest gig on
Atlantis cruises she has earned a reputation of being one
of the fastest witted female comediennes on either coast.

Graduating from The University of Rhode Island with a
BFA in theatre, Poppy set out for Chicago where she
attended the famed Second City Comedy Troupe. She
refined her chops in Chicago opening for such comics as
Ray Ramano, Denis Leary, Bill Maher, Bill Hicks and Rosie
O’Donnell.

When Poppy hit tinsel town, she continued to study acting
at the Larry Moss studios and has since put up her critically
acclaimed One Woman Show, “A Chocolate Sandwich.”

She was a staff writer on FOX’s Show Me The Funny.

Poppy currently can be seen performing her comedy, in
the new HBO Documentary “All Aboard Rosie’s Family
Vacation” as well as, hosting her own popular comedy
show; “Cocktails and Comedy” at the infamous GirlBar in
West Hollywood.

Ever increasing her visibility, she is a regular performer in
Provincetown, at the Dinah Shore Weekend, and is
scheduled to perform in the closing ceremonies of the Gay
Games in Chicago, 2006.

Poppy tackles tough subjects with ease. In this
comedienne’s hands we can laugh at life’s most formidable
perils... and laughter that ravages fear is the best kind of all.
