Monika Knotts – Writer, Comedian, Visual Artist
Writer by trade, comedienne by circumstance of personality, Monika Knotts has been interested in charming strangers since birth. She has many creative endeavors outside of comedy—namely mixed media visual art, poetry, songwriting, singing, film photography, and more—but she’s too embarrassed to do those in public. So, without further ado…
