Lisa Koch: Bio

Lisa Koch

(demented singer/songwriter/comedian/Britney Spears body-double...)

Picture the triangulated love child of Bette Midler, Lily Tomlin, and Karen Carpenter... and you’ve got Lisa Koch. An irreverent Seattle singer/comedian, Koch (“Coke”) is a deliciously twisted mix of comedy, theater, and demented songs. She has 4 solo recordings, is one-half of hilarious sketch-comedy duo, Dos Fallopia ("My Breasts Are Out of Control"), and is an alumnus of cult quartet Venus Envy ("I'll Be A Homo for Xmas").

Lisa has co-written such warped shows as "The Carpeters: Uncomfortably Close To You," “Two’s Company, I’m a Crowd,” and “Ham for the Holidays: Swine, Women and Song.” She also finds time to work as an actor, appearing in "The Vagina Monologues,” "Dirty Blonde,” and as the Wicked Witch of the West in “The Wizard of Oz” (5th Ave Theatre). She performs regularly on Olivia Cruises, is touring her one-woman cabaret show, “Return to Planet Lisa”, and is the composer of a new musical about Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas (“27, Rue de Fleurus”), which premieried Off-Broadway in March 2008. Koch’s latest CD (“Tall Cool Drink”) contains the internet hit, “I’m a Middle-Aged Woman.”

"...reminiscent of the uproariously tacky mishmash once beloved by the Divine Miss M.... " --Out Magazine

“Hearing Seattle’s Lisa Koch is one of life’s wickedest pleasures…” --Curve Magazine

"Koch has the same mischievous energy as the early Bette Midler. She seems to have that sense of joi de vivre that makes her instantly likeable. She's an out lesbian with a universal appeal…" --Washington Blade

DOS FALLOPIA

Dos Fallopia is the outrageous kamikaze comedy duo of Lisa Koch and Peggy Platt-- the two combine music, sketch comedy, improv, razor sharp wit, and general lunacy to produce an evening of wickedly funny commentary from a woman's point of view.

Performing together since 1990, Lisa and Peggy have logged 17 Xmas ventures together, more than 25 full-length shows, and countless international dates. They have toured their sold-out stage shows, “Twin Sisters of Different Cul-de-sacs,” “Pretty Girls, Not Too Bright,” and “Desperate Spuddwives” in theaters in London, New York, San Francisco, LA, Chicago, Seattle, Minneapolis, and Indianapolis. They have been seen at the Michigan, Southern, West Coast, and National Women's Music Festivals. The two have released one cult CD, "My Breasts Are Out of Control", and their video "Pretty Girls, Not Too Bright" has received rave reviews.

With characters like dysfunctional mother-daughter country superstars The Spudds (Euomi and Wynotta), and crunchy granola folk duo Mud (Compost Morningdew and Dolphin-Free Tuna Womon), Dos Fallopia create their own skewed version of an all-star evening of entertainment.

"Could they be the long lost love child of Doris Day and Divine? Big, brash, and completely mad...” ---London Connection

"I wasn't prepared for just how funny they would be... I kept laughing and fell out of my seat... two of the funniest, most irreverent comedians I’ve seen in years..." --- San Francisco Bay Times

"...They are, without question, Seattle’s reigning queens of sketch comedy..." --Seattle Gay News
