![]() Amy Borkowsky has been saving her answering machine messages for over a decade. She first realized that the messages which drive her crazy could be entertaining to others when she began performing stand-up comedy. On the assumption that the best material comes from your own life, she gathered some of her mother's most extreme messages and played them on stage, at venues including New Yorks top comedy clubs. Audiences consistently howled at her messages from Mom. Amy says she's totally dependent on her answering machine since she's virtually never home. Until launching her full-time comedy career, Amy lived the hectic life of an Executive Vice President and Creative Group Head at a major Manhattan advertising agency, where she won dozens of awards including five Clios, three Cannes Festival lions, and an Emmy. Amy now devotes herself exclusively to performing, speaking, and developing new comedy projects. She's especially excited about her latest humor book, STATEMENTS: True Tales of Life, Love, and Credit Card Bills, a lighthearted look at her life based on her collection of American Express statements (Chamberlain Bros./Penguin). Amy's television appearances include an interview with Matt Lauer on the "Today" show, with Jane Clayson on the CBS "Early Show," and "National Enquirer TV" profiled her as "the comedian who's making a career out of listening to her mother." Amy's CDs have been played on hundreds of radio stations, from New York's WPLJ to KRLA in LA and on National Public Radio. Amy completed a 12- city tour for the Amy's Answering Machine book, appearing on shows from "Good Day Dallas" to "Today in New York"; her book immediately became a Denver Post bestseller, and it has spent Mothers' Day in the #1 position on Amazon. Amy perfoms and speaks at events across the country and appeared in the prestigious Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal. (Click for booking information.)
