Watching Lisa perform on a Friday night with a group of friends after a very long week was the best kind of medicine! We laughed really hard. I loved how Lisa’s show riffed in a fresh way on the themes of family, relationships, and the ordinary dilemmas of modern life. Lisa is a gifted and generous storyteller and she transported us to her world through stories that were hilarious and sometimes quite poignant. I was amazed by her ability to connect with the audience, eliciting stories and insights from the people she came to entertain. It’s fascinating to see how comedy/art can transform! Would highly recommend Lisa’s show to most anyone. More...

Event Entertainment

Lisa is amazing!! She helped with a sorority Mother/Daughter night at UC Berkeley. Her stories were perfectly tailored for this crowd. We all laughed and had a great time. But the best things about Lisa are that she is very easy to work with, listens to your needs, and wants to put on the best performance for you. I highly recommend Lisa! More...

Lisa's skill at humor, storytelling and movement creates an atmosphere in which the audience can totally relax and enjoy themselves. Her willingness to be no-holds-barred authentic, as smart and full of feeling as she IS, while sharing the gory and joyous details of being a mom, wife, AND a passionately alive, intellectually-on-point woman ...gives everyone in the audience permission to laugh fully, understand and invite their own messy-but-brilliant selves into the space we shared together.
I saw her show outdoors at the San Geronimo Community Center. There were parents and children and single folk there - some artsy, some not. We all had a fabulous time, were invited to participate at just the right level; we left laughing and uplifted.

Lisa is seriously hilarious. Her show "The Scavenger Hunt" explores the tension between competition and team building, while inviting the audience to explore their own relationship to competition. I found myself completely involved in her story, laughing and seriously competing along with the rest of the audience. She is truly all about the team, and will make you laugh and think no matter the story she tells. More...

I highly recommend Lisa. She has a gift for engaging audiences. Her humor is gentle, self reflective and engages with social contexts. I'm still laughing about her depiction of working from home during the pandemic. More...

The first time I witnessed Lisa perform was in 2012 and I was blown away with her talent to engage the audience. Every performance I've seen since then had me in tears, laughing. She is a dynamic and magical storyteller. More...

Lisa is an amazing and energetic performer. I have never been to a show of hers where I didn’t laugh and wasn’t impressed that she can write, act, and direct and come out with such a professional and entertaining product.

13 February 2023

Theatre meets reality in all of Lisa's performances. She creatively and hysterically presents common, day-to-day experiences through utterly relatable characters. And just when you think those characters are over the top, you stop and think, "hmmm, maybe not so much?!" More...

For meeting planners looking to offer fresh and energetic entertainment to their next event, I highly recommend Lisa Rothman. I've seen her perform in person, and over Zoom, and enjoyed her show immensely.

She is a hilarious storyteller who has the rare ability to involve and engage the audience from the very beginning. Check her out!

Want a unique and fun experience for a group? Host Lisa! I've seen Lisa perform many times but hosting a group in my garden was one of a kind. We had a diverse group of youth, teens, and adults and not only did I love that we laughed but she also had meaningful thoughtful moments for us to reflect. It feels so good to connect in person again and Lisa was the catalyst to make it a memorable afternoon. She even got guests up in front participating which made it even better! More...

Lisa's not only an excellent storyteller who puts her whole body into her performance, she's also a great listener. What does that add up to? A wonderful experience for everyone. More...

I've seen several of Lisa's performances and loved them all. She has the knack of connecting with her audience. Her stories are ultimately about human relationships and foibles -- funny and heartfelt and ultimately uplifting.

She's creative, insightful, open to feedback and direction, always looking to make the material better, and dogged in pursuit of her truth.

I was lucky enough to see Lisa's "Scavenger Hunt" performance fall of 2022 and it was truly hilarious. It moved smartly along with so many laughs and relatable moments! Just a fun piece that the whole family will enjoy, from Grandma to kids. Looking forward to seeing it again! More...

Lisa IS hilarious. What’s awesome when she performs is how she interacts with her audience. She plays with us and is responsive and flexible. So fun! She amazingly takes on a multitude of roles during her shows and brings out the humour in each of them. One of my favorites is the activist gingerbread man in Dragon in the Drop-Off Lane. OMG.

i listen to a lot of comedians of all types so the bar is high; Lisa is funny & her timing is polished. Plus if you can’t imagine a comedian “impersonating” ants, then you need to go to one of her shows cuz you’ll never forget it. I haven’t.
