lalu bertanya pernahkah kami makan di sana
sebelumnya, dan saya jawab, "Ya, sudah."
00:38

And she said, "AwesomeKeren."
12
29739
2780
Kemudian dia berkata, "Mengagumkan."
00:44
And I thought, "Really?
13

Why you should listen

Jill Shargaa’s comedy career took off in 1979, when she sold a one-liner to Joan Rivers for $9. She’s been making audiences laugh ever since, first as a member of the sketch comedy troupe The Funny Farm in Orlando, Florida, next on the ABC television show America’s Funniest People (she came in third), and now with her all-female comedy revue, Evening of Estrogen.

Jill is also the founder of Shargaa Illustration and Design, and has done work for Universal Studios Creative Resources and Walt Disney Imagineering. Half illustrator and half designer, she favors concepts that, go figure, raise a chuckle.
