Donna M. Vetters

SHORT BIO: While foraging for food in a small town Donna found instead her funny bone. Attending Central Connecticut State University and majoring in theatre she was able to hone her craft well enough to keep the first selectman's ears from bleeding. After a few years of that she stepped into community theatre and found she actually had a following. Although it wasn't because of her outstanding work as a thespian but mostly her unique ability to make farts that smelled like banana nut muffins. After a shot at a career in the medical field, making a family, and making the usual mess of things, she moved to Baltimore MD and decided to pursue a dream of stand-up comedy. After mild success, a DVD and, some mention on you-tube, Donna became interested in the city's underground improv performers. This is where she found that her hidden talent regarding banana nut muffins could be put to much better use. Today Donna is accepted and doesn't feel as alone in a world full of Mexican salsa and day old beer. She has joined with others that can proudly say that their S#%& does stink and it comes in warm inviting scents such as sugar cookie, peanut butter cup, and banana nut muffin.
