Lisa's 4th CD is a gorgeous mix of sultry, snappy, and silly. Jazz-tinged with a bite, Koch moves from classic Aretha to her original breathtaking ballads--includes the hilarious
Middle Aged Woman.
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: Desperate Spuddwives. 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, and tours her one-woman cabaret show, 'Return to Planet Lisa.'
'...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
