Shawn Butler

Brought up on the spot as Trenton's girlfriend; second time on the show, the last being about two years ago. Single mom of four from the Dallas area, worked with infants for over a decade, currently in braces. Set drew on the womb/weighted blanket theory of comfort and a run comparing babies to cocaine. Interview turned dark: her friend and fellow comic Henry Cruz was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Deep Ellum while she watched and tried CPR; the driver was caught weeks later but not yet prosecuted. One of her sons, now 11, is a savant who does open mics with her. Dave Landau had seen her at Roast Battle the night before.
