Jill Michaels observations to life are inspired by her offbeat experiences of doing extra work on "Friends," leaning into one- sided romances, waitressing in Hollywood and was hired as the graphic designer for Bellvue Hospital ....yes, that Bellvue. Michaels go-go danced her way through graduate school in NYC before teaching college classes. You can find her snaking down desert roads in search of the perfect Craigslist trailer. The storysongstress' folksy tales can be heard on NPR affiliate stations and remind us that we are all in the soup bowl together so stir gently.

Michaels' lively one woman shows combine her sketchbook drawings, paintings, edgy stories of Hollywood and NYC in a style remniscent of Arlo Guthrie and Garrison Keller. The eclectic radioshows have aired on NPR affiliates and commercial stations in New York and California.
Raised to be a debutante in Philadelphia, Jill Michaels admits was an experiment that failed mainly because she didn't like shoe shopping. Ever the optimist, she wound up writing, then touring the country with her books full of doodles and humorous tales in, "Debutante without a Dress," "Telling Tales," "No Customer Service," "Life Half Undone," and "Desert Time."
