Boosler‘s Party of Oneblew open the locked gates for female standup comedians on TV. She is best known for her thoughtful and feisty socially conscious humor, and love of animals.

“It’s an honor to play even a tiny part in the career of an artist who made history as often as Elayne did,” said Brian Volk-Weiss, CEO of Comedy Dynamics.
