Denise Thimes is kind of a genius. She uses her life-threateningly thrilling voice, and her prodigious gifts as a storyteller, to delight and enchant us. She sings and tells it just like it is, and we want to hear more. She is for real - funny, sharp, direct, clever and kind. She fills the stage. She tells us her story and ours at once. She entertains. And she is our own.
