Verna Gillis, 77, in live performance of her award-winning one older woman's Tales from Geriassic Park: On the Verge of Extinction. With humor throughout, she talks about childhood, the family, relationships, addiction, peeing, scones, and aging, which is her niche. She has won two story slamsāthe first at age 68 for Coming of Ageāwhich she changed to Coming of Aging. The second at age 76 at the Woodstock Book Fest. She calls what she does stand-up/sit-down comedy.
Her books I Just Want to Be InvitedāI Promise Not to Come (2012), I'll Never Know if I Would Have Gotten the Same Results if I'd Been NiceāTerror Firma (2015), and The I of the Storm (2020) are available on Amazon.
