She's Funny, and a Damn Good Writer To Boot.

In the June 17 issue of Entertainment Weekly, actress/comedian Aisha Tyler chronicles a day in the life of a traveling stand-up. 

It's a laugh-out-loud piece of writing.

To wit:  "Stand-up is not galmourous.  People are used to seeing celebrities on the red carpet, lip gloss poppin' like a backup dancer in a Gucci mane video.  They are less accustomed to seeing celebrities in line at Starbucks with a murderous cowlick, or stumbling through the Detroit aieport with a four-alarm hangover, moaning like a zombie on the hunt for brains."

In her essay, Ms. Tyler also works in such underused words as braying and raw boned.
