I am Ann Votaw,

a Hoosier living in NYC.

I moved to New York City decades ago to be a musical theater dancer.

Since April 2025, I’ve performed as a standup comic. Other times, I’m Corny Shuckins, the heartland’s favorite farm product. During the holidays, I am Mrs. Claus in various department stores and women-based retail venues.

Sometimes, I write freelance articles for various publications, including Crain’s, Marie Claire, and Huffington Post.
