Coco and Penny are the worlds only mother and daughter
comedy team who have amused millions by appearing on such
television shows as David Letterman, MTV, Joan Lunden Show,
Ricki Lake, and countless other radio and television programs
around the country. One newspaper article stated "What
the Judds did to country musicCoco and Penny have done
to comedy."
Theyve been called the "Judds of Comedy!"
This duo gets along great off-stage but its no holds
barred once the lights go up.
"We could never tell jokes about each other on stage
if we didnt get along so well," says Penny, who
began her career in musical comedy. "Were not just
mother and daughter, but very good friends," says Coco,
who has a long career as a character actress.
They have been stirring up the laughs at some of the best
comedy clubs in the country including: The Comedy Store in
LA, The Ice House in Pasadena; The Comedy Stop at the Trop
in Atlantic City, Dangerfields, Carolines, The
New York Comedy Club, as well as performing throughout the
national comedy club circuit including some of the most notable
hotels and resorts.
Coco, affectionately referred to by her partner as "Mom"
is an accomplished actress and has appeared in many off-Broadway
and regional theater productions. She has also appeared in
a number of films, TV shows including Law & Order and
a music video for Japan and several specials for cable.
Daughter, Penny, started her professional career in the New
York City Opera Childrens Chorus. Since then she has
appeared in regional theater, summer stock, and with the Village
Light Opera. She has also created and starred in many childrens
theater productions.
Coco and Pennys collaboration actually started as an
accident. Penny had written, produced and directed an off-off
Broadway musical revue titled, "Bowery to Broadway"
and needed to fill a character role. Mom happily volunteered
to fill the role and daughter cast her on the spot. After
the show had closed they decided that they had so enjoyed
working together that they would hit the road as a twosome.
The act began as a cabaret show but it soon evolved into a
standup comedy routine.
Based out of the classic comedy team style, Penny, plays
straight man, to Cocos wacky and zany comedic persona.
This characterization fits as Coco was always an unconventional
mother. In their act, Coco is always embarrassing Penny and
flirting with the guys, while Penny tries to keep her mother
in line and out of trouble.
Because Coco and Pennys act is so character-driven
many people and industry have commented that their act SCREAMS
SITCOM! So this comedy duos latest project is a sitcom
pilot titled, Shes With Me. Coco and Penny star together
in this role-reversal half-hour sitcom based on the real-life
relationship of this one-of-kind show-biz team.
Coco & Penny are making waves in the world of
comedy and most importantly in the relationships of Mothers
and Daughters everywhere!
