Gaetz's debut two years ago was at a local comedy benefit ("as one of the opening acts for Russell friggin' Peters") and since then she's worked hard at honing her act and it's paid off. Gaetz has developed a natural stage presence and a quick-paced, confident delivery that lets her tackle non-political topics (and salesgirls) head-on while still seeming good-natured. "Anybody who's making a living as a female comic knows that it can be tough," says Gaetz, "but at the same time, we're still a little uncommon, a little unique. So I got some opening spots probably sooner than I would have if I had even more hair on my chest."
Gaetz will be MC at Absolute Comedy November 29 to December 3. Also, keep an ear out for her on an upcoming edition of Shaun Majumder's CBC comedy show, The Debaters.
