An irreverent Seattle singer/comedian, Lisa Koch (“Coke”) is a deliciously twisted mix of comedy, theater, and demented songs. Think Bette Midler meets Lily Tomlin with Joan Jett guitar chops. She is wonderful, you can click this link to find more of her music and creative works, and even listen to her music.
Lisa singing " I'm a Middle Aged Woman "

And the "Abode" or "Demonstrate My Abode" is her touching one woman show dedicated to her dad.
