      My pre-show ritual… I like to find a secluded corner to quietly sit and think about the performance before I go on stage. It’s a short meditation that helps to settle my nerves and ground me. Something you didn’t know… I’m less than five feet tall!

      Let me introduce a Race

      Void of Beauty and of Grace,

      Extraordinary Creatures

      With a Paucity of Features.

      They're Atrocious, they're Ferocious!

      Yet you'll learn, if you are Bright,

      When you've finished with the Book,
