So, we’ll just say she’s a “Nor Cal” local. On any given night you might find this 6′ 2″ Modesto native at the Improv in San Jose or the Punch Line in San Francisco.

A Sacramento Comedy Interview
My father always told us, ‘Hard work prevails over everything’” Finney reminisced. “It was very important to my father that we a least achieved a high school education,” “I ended up graduating my junior year, because I hated school so much,” he joked.
