Career

She studied comedy at iO Chicago, The Second City and The Groundlings.[1] She frequently performs stand-up comedy at venues throughout Los Angeles, California, including The Comedy Store, The Ice House,[2] and The Improv.[3]
Her recent television appearances include The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Parks and Recreation, Brody Stevens: Enjoy It!, and @midnight.

Povitsky also wears a mouth guard due to her grinding her teeth at night. She often speaks in a baby voice with the mouth guard in.
She often appears as a guest on the network's Ice House Chronicles.[7]
In 2012, Povitsky turned down an offer from MTV to do a reality show based on her life as a comedian because she felt the series would be too invasive.[8][9][10]
