Solid character work colors her show.

"Laura Park is an engaging performer with a knack for witty characterization” remarks the L.A. Weekly. "Laura Park is particularly adept at shifting rapidly from one character to another." says The Saint Paul Pioneer Press.

Laura presents high-energy physical comedy with a strong connection to her audience. Her stage energy is warm and contagious. "She has a winning way about her, this rangy young woman…Laura Park is exceedingly adept at embodying the formless.” Says Backstage West.

Laura's originality shines as she muses on the art of sneaking, turns the tables on Wisconsin deer hunting, and attempts to cheer someone out of a coma.
