Comedy

Ann Duke is a favorite of “women of a certain age” who can relate to the trials and tribulations of being single and navigating middle age. Her observations on generational differences and relationships are clever and poignant. For younger audiences she’s your Mom’s sassy, sexy best friend. She has performed at comedy shows and clubs across the region including Sound Board at Motor City Casino, Traverse City Opera House, Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle, Detroit House of Comedy, One Night Stan’s, The Comedy Bar and the Traverse City Comedy Club. She has appeared with national headliners Tom Papa, Joe List, Vic Dibitetto, Eric D’Alessandro, Nathan Timmell, Lynne Koplitz, Dave Landau and more. Ann is the Co-Producer of the Traverse City Comedy Fest now in its third year. She is a member of “Eyes Up Here”, which features five of Michigan’s top female comics and recently toured with Showtime’s Funny Women of a Certain Age. In September of 2023 she was a featured speaker at TedXDetroit.

TESTIMONIALS

Chris Young

Stand-Up Comic & Show Producer

“Working with Ann, both as a showrunner and fellow comic, I’ve seen firsthand how professional, genuine, and relatable she is. She has a natural way of connecting with audiences, is deeply respected in the comedy community, and truly cares about both her craft and the people who come to see her perform."

Carole Montgomery

Comedian & Founder of the “Funny Women of a Certain Age” Comedy Tour

"I’ve had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Ann on multiple occasions. In 2023, she produced and performed in a four-city tour with Funny Women of a Certain Age and has since been invited back as a special guest on two more shows. Though she doesn’t have the decades of stage time some of the other comics bring, Ann’s confidence, timing, and natural presence make her stand out—holding her own with nationally touring comedians and leaving audiences laughing right along with the best of them."
