Elodia Tate is a Central
Valley author, and professional speaker, who also health
coaches people wanting to add a natural approach, to managing
their health. However, she has recently decided to spend
more time away from her computer sitting down and do something
standing up, stand up comedy that is.
In 2001 Elodia Tate had her first taste of
performing comedy for an audience. She performed a skit
on colon cleansing, "The Colon Patrol", and performed in
character, as "General Colon Bowel". She put her
audience through colon cleansing boot camp and it was a hit,
prompting her to be invited to perform over and over again.
Since then Elodia has focused on writing,
speaking and continues to health coach but it is all done with
a sense of humor.
In Januray 2004 Elodia went on the road
marketing her book, "Open My Eyes, Open My Soul", that she
co-created with Yolanda King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr. Elodia says, "While on the road marketing, I
share my family stories and once again I find I enjoy making
people laugh, and being on stage. Since then she has
written stand up material on having a multicultural family,
parenting, divorce, dating, online dating, having a
hysterectomy and the list goes on.
She is now adding stand up comedy to her list
of services. Elodia has said "I enjoy everything I do
from writing, speaking and health coaching, but making people
laugh brings me a special kind of joy. I would love to do
shows for non-profit organizations raising money for important
causes.
Her books co-creator, Yolanda King, has been
especially supportive of her performing stand up as a career.
Prompted by her friend, she recently auditioned in San
Francisco, at the Punch Line comedy club, for a chance to earn
the title "Funniest Mom in America", sponsored by the Nick@Nite
station. "Keep your fingers crossed for me. I
won't hear back until January 2006 and I really want to do
well. she says.
Elodia recently performed at the "Yo'Pollo", a
50th birthday celebration for Yolanda King, in Los Angeles.
"It was so much fun, as well as an honor, to be on stage with
all the other wonderful talent that night." She was
spotted by entertainment agent, Phyllis Larrymore-Kelly, and
will be working with Phyllis to bring her performing skills to
television and film.
Keep watching. For there is surely more
funny to come!
