    COMEDIANS
    Feature Comedian: Tracey Ashley 
     


    Tracey Ashley has always known she would be a comedienne. All she needed was a starting point. In retrospect, and perhaps unintentionally, she eventually did a few things that proved crucial to her evolution as a smart, rapidly rising comedienne. Tracey once worked as a Cruise Director which certainly put her in front of a variety of people all the time talking about a variety of circumstances. She then moved to Minneapolis, an area that has become something of a development ground for sharp and inventive young comics. Today she is entertaining audiences all over the country at comedy clubs, college campuses and corporate events. Tracey Ashley is an instant favorite for her seamless storytelling, great material and hilarious punchlines. This Southern Belle, now a Midwest transplant, has blossomed into a comedienne you will enjoy and want to see again. Tracey also makes her first television appearance this year on NBC's Last Comic Standing Season 5. To learn more about Tracey Ashley, visit her website at www.myspace.com/traceyashley305.
