When she was young, her siblings renamed her “Who?” Naturally, she embarked on a career as an actor and found herself onstage across the U.S. from The Shakespeare Theatre in Washington, DC to Perseverance Theatre in Juneau, Alaska. She has also worked as an emcee for trade shows, travel shows, and drag shows.
Charity has been seen performing comedy all over San Francisco in bars and clubs, including The Purple Onion at Kells, Pamtastic’s Comedy Clubhouse, and Comedy Night with the Lamp from my Living Room at The Blarney Stone.
