     about me:
     After being described by LA Weekly as â€?cute,â€? television personality and comedian Laura Swisher realized she had finally broken through an important barrier. â€?As an artist and as a woman,â€? says Laura. â€?It’s deeply fulfilling when a television critic sees past your innate creativity and notices your outside beauty. Too often in this industry women are only seen as ’funny’ or ’important,’ so it’s refreshing to finally be taken seriously for my looks.â€? Nevertheless, when offered the chance to pose for Playboy for a â€?Women of Tech TVâ€? spread, she turned the magazine down. â€?I wanted to hold out for a magazine noted for its articles, like ’Maxim’ or ’FHM’.â€? Laura got her start as a stand-up comedian in Los Angeles after giving up a rewarding career as a publicist. â€?Working in PR definitely filled a void in my life,â€? she explains. â€?There’s no greater satisfaction in life than surrounding oneself with C-list actors at corporate-sponsored events, secure in the knowledge that at least one newspaper will run a blurb about it. And yet, it wasn’t enough for me.â€? Within a year of quitting PR, she landed her first TV appearance on â€?Destination Stardom,â€? a variety show on the wildly-popular Pax network. Her dry, laid-back persona and trenchant fart jokes caught the industry’s attention. Soon after that she was invited to the Chicago Comedy Festival, where a lot of important people gave her business cards. Other shows followed, including Comedy Central’s â€?Premium Blendâ€?, NBC’s â€?Last Comic Standing,â€? where she was a semi-finalist in its first season, and Oxygen’s â€?Girls Behaving Badly.â€? Her â€?big breakâ€? occurred with a failed â€?Card Sharksâ€? audition that ultimately led her to co-host the national late night talk show â€?Unscrewed�with Martin Sargentâ€? on Tech TV (and then G4). â€?Unscrewedâ€? has been described as a cross between â€?The Late Show with David Lettermanâ€? and Art Bell’s â€?Coast to Coastâ€? due to its peculiar blending of comedy and Internet crackpots. Laura became one of the show’s writers as well, and produced and starred in weekly segments. Since â€?Unscrewedâ€? was cancelled in 2004, Laura has appeared numerous times on VH-1 as a commentator, and is currently a contributing correspondent on the Reelz Channel show â€?Dailies.â€? In addition, she wrote, produced and starred in segments for the highly-successful Mark Burnett reality show â€?Gold Rushâ€? which was hosted by â€?Entertainment Tonight’sâ€? Mark Steines. She also hosts a weekly podcast called Weezy & the Swish (www.weezyandtheswish.com) which features some of the LA-areas most popular stand-ups as guests.
    bot's thoughts

    laura opened on of our shows and immediately won over the audience with her dry wit, strong sense of irony, intelligence and down to earth demeanor. and yet, the audience trusts her enough to make douche jokes. thus, we all win.
