What They’re Sayin’…

“There are lots of people who have an act, but Reverend Mother works a room as part of her act… and she is flat funny! Great timing, great audience involvement, great thinking on her feet, and making this a truly great experience. Funny is not something you can write… funny is the ability to change in a moment given things you never thought of until then… then creating FUNNY.”
Arnie Rothschild, RBT
Board Chair/ CEO

“Wow amazing actress! You reminded me of my 6th grade (Franciscan) nun in Pittsburgh, PA. Thank you for adding so much to my brother Bob’s 50th birthday party at Monroe Golf Club in Pittsford, NY.”
Michael Keaton
“We met in 1993 when Reverend Mother roasted my Penfield H.S. Class Reunion. What a talent!! She is now a colleague and a dear friend. Phyl has a unique ability to “think on her feet”. Her spontaneity is electric!! She can hold a room in “stiches” for hours leaving you with sides splitting and face grinning for days! SEE THE JIM SALMON CELEBRITY ROAST video on this website I rarely miss one of her shows and enthusiastically recommend her to any organization looking for First Class entertainment.”

Holy Cow! Rev. Mother is a force of nature. She’s smart. She’s funny. She’s witty. She’s kind. She lights up a room high High Mass! Her habit pockets are deep, and you never know what fun she will pull out at just the right time. Rev. Mother is a gift. Heaven help us all! Amen
Daniel Meyers
Former CEO/Al Sigl Center
“Reverend Mother is a force! Pray that you’re not on her hit list!”
Rev. Bill Donnelly
“Look out for Reverend Mother! My daughter-in-law was 8-months pregnant…she laughed so hard during my husband Tom’s roast that HER WATER BROKE! My grandson was born a few hours later! That was 20 years ago! Never underestimate the power of LAUGHTER!”

…endearingly devilish

“Revmo puts the ‘her’ back into heresy! The show is a delicious blend of snark and sass that keeps us laughing at ourselves and with each other.”

…spiritually fractured
“…haven’t laughed like that in 3 years – I had prostate cancer and nothing was funny! My Catholic school experience was not fun either… but lady you turned it all around… you are a bad ass nun!! 😊”

“What a special treat to see (and hear) you perform for the first time ever! We have heard many great things about you from friends and relatives so your visit to the Erie Station Legacy on May 7th was a rare treat for we haven’t had so many laughs in a long time. Your performance was a great uplift, so please come back again soon.”

“We used to play nun and priest as kids…I was the nun – SHE was the priest!”
Joe Valentino

“RevMo is a hilarious mix of irreverence and “wholly”! All presented with a twinkle in her eye that believes the depth of her love for God and others!”
Bishop Denise Donato
Mary Magdalene Church
“We are Reverend Mother groupies! Over many years and numerous events, we can testify that she’s the real deal! Unique, playful, irreverent and mischevious! Make no mistake about it…Reverend Mother is deliberate, intentional and on purpose! We treasure our forever friendship and hope she continues her legacy of Laughter as the Best Medicine!”
Sharyn and Mike Christman
“Irreverence with a twist! Reverend Mother is a hoot! She blends the current and comtemporary with a vintage past to make you laugh and often blush. Watching her roast a loved one is an experience you will both remember for a lifetime. Phyl combines old-fashioned and cabaret-style song musings for an unforgettable evening.”
