Holly, with Joan and her husband Lou, 2014, Atlantic City

Holly Faris is the premiere Joan Rivers impersonator in the country.

Her rapid-fire non-stop jibes on the red carpet at Oscar-themed events leave guests in hysterics.

Holly has been impersonating Joan since she was five years old and remembers how excited she was being allowed to stay up and watch this master comedienne when she appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. Holly and her mother would watch Joan on a little black and white portable TV in her New Jersey home in the suburbs near Philadelphia.

Little did she know that almost 20 years later she'd appear in NY on Joan's television talk show dressed as Joan Rivers herself!

Holly says “Joan was so much fun, even asking me if I remembered any of the jokes from Ed Sullivan”, which Holly provided to a laughing Joan Rivers.
Since Holly often performs at corporate events as Joan, she is careful to not push the envelope but is still amazed at what "Joan" can get away with.

Holly loves to perform as Joan Rivers because “it allows me to make people laugh and it always challenges my comic improvisation skills. I love to come up with new lines off the cuff.” People realize that the digs are always in good fun, especially when Holly as Joan, like the real Joan Rivers, turns most of the jokes on herself.
