Grace White at Vino Piazza

GRACE WHITE, aka That Old Hippie Chick, is a classic bohemian with a mother who stalks her, a father to whom road rage is an art-form and a stand-up comedy act like no other. White launched her comedy career at the onset of her "Middle Ages," and has gone on to open for the Jefferson Starship, 3 Doors Down, Edgar Winter, Leon Russell, Father Guido Sarducci, and Kevin Pollack. She made her film debut in "The Independent," starring Jerry Stiller and Janeane Garofalo and has appeared on "Good Morning America."

White is a symphony in contradictions, a blur of reluctant energy and a compulsive workaholic entrepreneur who stubbornly maintains her title of World's Laziest Woman. She's also a successful single parent (her daughter's never been to jail), and has earned a solid reputation for herding aspiring comedians through their performing puberty. That Old Hippie Chick may not be the last of her tribe, but she is surely one of the most entertaining.

Her Mother . . . My Mom calls me right? She says, “What did you have for breakfast?” I say, “An omelet with something green.” She says “Oh, spinach.” “No Mother, a Heineken. Cuz, you are driving me crazy.”

Her Child . . . When my daughter was born, we videotaped the birth. Now, when she makes me angry, I just hit rewind and put her back in.

Her Daughter’s Tattoo . . . My 24 year old daughter, Alisa, recently got a tattoo in the middle of her back. She was telling me how she wished she had gotten it lower. I said, “Don’t worry, it will be.”
