Starting comedy simply because there was a lady shortage and she liked to represent, Jim Stanton began her venture into comedy in 2002, fresh to Wellington and looking for something new. Throwing off the shackles of having a name that sounds like a retired postman's and inability to bake a successful sponge cake, she now currently performs both solo and as one half of The Comediettes and plans to amuse crowds with one part happy whimsy to two parts cutting sarcasm, for a long time to come.
