Résumé

New York Times Slide Show 10/09/09

Press Release for USM Mural 10/27/09

If you think “ironic” and “uplifting” are
contradictory traits that can’t coexist,
maybe Mama Spell can change your
mind. Part comedienne, part
performance artist, the Pittsburgh
resident (via south Mississippi) tells
stories, provides social commentary
and performs hilarious lounge
versions of seemingly incongruous
songs...
--
Jack Silverman, Nashville Scene

... Sharon “Mama” Spell taught us
“The Mama Dance,” its only
requirement that you make a V with
your arms....
-- Shaula Clark, The Boston Phoenix

...hip and danceable brand of
twisted song/comedy...

--Foxy Moxy, Piedmont Triad Hippo

Mama's show is a one-woman
extravaganza ...

-- Mik Davis
Hattiesburg American


...a pop art Gracie Allen.

-- Ruth Cartlidge
Chattanooga Pulse


And she's got so much style that she
wouldn't look out of place in a
John Waters movie.
-- The Winston-Salem Journal

Mama’s cabaret ...works because
Mama can come across as sincere
as one of the Bush’s first ladies, or
a Reagan-era anti-drug commercial.
And almost as funny. Because the
fact is, Mama’s really, really funny
-- like a cross between June
Cleaver, Liz Taylor and
Absolutely Fabulous.
--
Justin Hopper
Pittsburgh City Paper


It takes a skilled entertainer with a
distinct persona to blend the many
kinds of funny and still come out on
top. Mama Spell, a Southern-born
Pittsburgh hipster... pulls it off with
grace and aplomb.
--Patrick Rapa
Philadelphia City Paper


Her whimsical Southern manner
and offbeat humor... is abetted by
some stuffed animals and... She's
threatening to tap-dance...
--
Gary Budzak
The Columbus Dispatch

The highlights of Spell's
performances usually are her
songs, with the comic bits filling
in between, or leading up to, a
song. ....This isn't the easiest way to
do stand-up, but in her case, it works.

-- Mike Machosky
Pittsburgh Tribune Review


Stories With No Morals offers
highlights of her live show... with
singing, storytelling and Mama just
being Mama.
--Mike May, Pittsburgh Magazine

This CD didn't skip once!
-- Jackie Beat
“friend to the gays since 1989.”
