Julia Scotti's new brand of comedy is honest, hilarious, fearless, and fierce. Drawn to comedy from the time she was a child - "almost like a religious calling" - she holds nothing back. She has been described as a "force of nature," "a cross between Sam Kinison and Mrs. Doubtfire," like a "chainsaw flying through the room." A speaker, author, and nationally headlining comedian, who happens to be transgender, Julia got her start as Rick Scotti successfully touring both the United States and Canada.
