Ann Marie King is the girl next door. Her standup comedy is a clever blend of expressive and witty worldly observations with a unique comical style. Quirky and endearing, she can also melt your heart with a lovely ballad. She performs her one woman show "Unexpected Songs" © 2009 at places like Amazing Things Arts Center and the Encore Lounge. (DVDs & CDs available for purchase.) Her delightful voice has brought her to sing at Fenway Park and the Hatch shell in Boston, MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods, and on cruise ships around the world. She has performed her standup and her cabaret act at clubs throughout New England.
She has also been charming audiences for years in theater, musicals, & light opera. Favorite roles include Peg in "Peg O' My Heart", Bianca in "Taming of the Shrew", 15 years as wacky bridesmaid Louisa Ravioli in "Joey & Maria's Comedy Italian Wedding", and Monica in the world premiere of "The Coronation of Esther".
Ann Marie's songs will break your heart. Her comedy will mend it.
"Ann Marie King has the unique ability to bring tears to your eyes through laughter and/or song. The only one I can really compare her to is Bette Midler, who devastates an audience one moment with her tragedy and cracks them up the next with her comedy". Bob Gautreau (Comic Headliner)
