Is 65 the New Funny? The Adventures of Mary Ellen, the Baby Boomer Stand-Up Comic.

I started stand-up comedy in Houston at 25, and from the moment I hit the stage, I felt I’d found my calling—though it took me 40 years to fully commit.

Now, at 65, I’m diving into a new chapter in a lively over-55 community in Florida. After performing across the state for two years, I’m stepping up by producing my shows.

I’ve launched a website and set up ticket sales. It took a lot of YouTube tutorials.  and way too much coffee.

But I did it! Age is just a number, and what matters is getting it done.
