    Janeane Garofalo

    Janeane Garofalo was named “Class Clown” at high schools in both New Jersey and Texas; in college, she won the title “Funniest Person in Rhode Island”. She has since taken the other 47 states by storm with dozens of roles in TV (The Larry Sanders Show, Saturday Night Live, and The Sopranos to name a few) and films like Reality Bites, The Truth About Cats and Dogs, and Mystery Men, while continuing to hone her stand-up comedy act. What does one of the funniest people in America pack for an extended retreat in a remote location? Let’s check out her survival kit.
