Can you see me somewhere else?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes, you can! \u00a0I\u2019ve been an admirer of Joan Rivers since I first saw her on TV in the early 70\u2032s! \u00a0 I started impersonating her when I was with The Braschler Music Show \u2013 that would have been around 1987 so\u2026 \u00a0I still perform as her today \u2013 it\u2019s the #1 character requested that I do. \u00a0Long story-short, 2 years ago I flew to Minneapolis, MN. (Thanks to QVC & my sister, Jennifer) & spent the day with her. \u00a0A film crew that had been following her for over 1 year was with her. \u00a0They found out about my affiliation with Joan so I am in the new documentary called, \u2018Joan Rivers \u2013 A Piece of Work\u2019. \u00a0It is rated R for strong adult language, but it is a real look into the life of the hardest working person in show business!<\/p>\n
