Lori Giarnella is making a name for herself in her hometown of Pittsburgh,PA. She explores self-deprecating humor with sophisticated wit and inherent likeability. In addition to hitting the open mic night circuit, she's been a finalist in contests at the Improv and the Funny Bone.

She was excited to have her material featured in "She's So Funny," a book containing material from comediennes including Janeane Garofalo, Caroline Rhea, and Ellen DeGeneres. She looks foward to having more of her material published in an umcoming book due out spring 2005. She had the opportunity to perform at Caroline's on Broadway and enjoyed performing at Gotham Comedy Club this summer with other women featured in "She's So Funny."
