Female comedian Donna performing live on stage

Too short to be a showgirl.

Donna's journey from pint-sized ballerina in New Haven to the sassy sensation of Las Vegas is a sparkling saga of glitter, giggles and grabbing life by the rhinestones.

At the tender age of 5, she hit the stage, hoping a dance recital was her ticket to Broadway – cue tiny dancer, big dreams.

Little did she know, her grand ambitions of being a showgirl were thwarted by the reality that, well, she was too short to ride that sequined rollercoaster.

But did Donna let her lack of inches stop her?

Absolutely not!
