LYDIA POPOVICH
Lydia Popovich is a SF-based comedian and blogger. Her website, Hater Tuesday founded in 2003 garners thousands of weekly visits from friends and family around the world. Her anecdotal humor and vivid storytelling make her a unique voice in a sea of dick jokes.
She produces and hosts an all female stand-up showcase in the Bay Area called Ladies Love that takes place the second Tuesday of each month at The Layover in Oakland.
She's a regular host at Rooster T. Feathers and has performed countless times in the Bay Area's most popular clubs including The Punch Line, Purple Onion, Cobb's and San Jose Improv.
She's opened for certified headliners Moshe Kasher, Morgran Murphy, Jackie Kashian, Marga Gomez, Ngaio Bealum and John Roy. Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters once touched her arm and said, "Hey, you're pretty funny."
That was the best day of her life.*
