Golden ticket winner brought out with a brand new minute; Tony called her a workhorse and one of the top young rising comedians in the world. Her minute was about a close friend who became schizophrenic after heavy mushroom use, built to a turn about black people and the n-word. In the interview she confirmed the friend story is true and pitched a fashion idea - red-bottom Pilates grip socks - which the panel agreed was genuinely good. Derrick Stroup praised the contrast between her small, unassuming delivery and the size of the jokes. The auto-captions dropped her actual name every single time, rendering only 'ya'.
