Truckee resident and hairstylist extraordinaire Diana Alouise has cavorted with Mel Gibson, styled for Steve McQueen and dated MacGyver.

Momma always said “Don’t laugh with your mouth full.” You won’t be able to keep it shut at Truckee’s fourth comedy show of the same name.
“Don’t Laugh With Your Mouth Full” is a triple-header sure to tickle your funny bone April 4 at Truckee’s Community Center. A benefit for Camp Radical scholarships, it boasts top-notch comedians and fantastic food by Full Belly Deli.
“You won’t find this quality of show in the area, not even Reno or South Lake,” said Susan Duffey Smith, Teen and Senior Coordinator with the Truckee Donner Recreation & Park District.
Host Adam Stone is a fast-rising star in the world of comedy and originally hails from Hawaii. Stone is currently MC at the Funny Bone Comedy Club and brings his musical talent to add to an incredible mix of comedic talent. Headliner Brad Bonar, a top comedian and entertainer on the national circuit has been headlining comedy clubs, cruise ships and corporate events for the last 10 years.
Closing headliner Jimmy Shubert is a sure side-splitter. His credits include “Jimmy” on “King of Queens” for five years, multiple “Comedy Central” half-hour specials, solo comedy albums and movies: “Coyote Ugly,” “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” and “The Italian Job.”
Diana Alouise, who is hysterically, rather, historically a Beverly Hills hair stylist and stand-up comedienne, is the local contact for the national acts.
“I got into comedy to meet guys,” said Alouise, owner of Shampoo Hair & Makeup Studio on Truckee’s East River Street. “Who would have known such funny guys are such unhappy, dysfunctional people?”
Her one-woman show about mullets and hairdressing will cut things up on-stage during “Don’t Laugh…”
How did the Alouise and Duffey Smith cook up a local comedy show? Alouise arrived in Truckee five years ago after a 26-year stint with the stars to be with family and she wanted to get involved in the community. She offered a children’s comedy class at the Community Center. There she met Duffey Smith, and they conjured up “Don’t Laugh With Your Mouth Full” as a community benefit.
They chose the outdoor summer camps as the beneficiary for pre-teens and teens to help families in the tight economy. Last year’s show raised funds for 15 scholarships, giving local children the chance to go whitewater rafting, kayaking, caving or take an overnight excursion to Six Flags/Marine World.
“It’s going to be hilarious,” said Duffey Smith. “Who doesn’t need a good laugh right now?”
Tahoe World: Why did you want to be a comedian?
Diana:I thought they said Canadian, and don’t they have free health care?
TW: So, out of all the Hollywood men that you’ve dated, who’s your favorite and why?
Diana:MacGyver. Because as we all know he’s really good with gadgets. He could take a paper clip and a feather duster…and I really shouldn’t go there.
TW: How do the men of Hollywood and the men of Tahoe compare in your opinion?
Diana:Well, in Tahoe all the guys seem to be a contractor, but in Hollywood you sleep with men for movie contracts and hope that’s the only kind of contracted agreement you get.
TW: What are you most looking forward to with this show?
Diana: A chance to raise money for the kids in such a tough economy and most importantly to meet a guy here after the show with health insurance, preferably a Canadian.

Hi, cool post. I have been wondering about this topic,so thanks for writing.

Hi Kris………This is actually my fifth show up here in Truckee and all the money that is raised is going to kids for their future. I bring in some excellent comics from LA. It’s guys I’ve worked with and have know for years. Some have been very successful and some have not. I’ts all in the timing, but when funny is funny, who cares about the money in the long run….nothing is better than a good laugh. Disfuntional, Broke, Unhappy, is funny…..rich successful, everything going great….well not to much to laugh about. Maybe a good smile in that position. But I’ve been very happy for these great comics to come out here and participate in this show in Truckee and give people a night they won’t forget……..hope you’ll be able to come to the next one! Thsnks for your reply!

Where did you take from such kind of information? Can you give me the source?

Hi Chris, sorry, but not sure about the question you asked where I got this information, or source. These were some of the interviews that were done about the shows I’ve put on. I will be putting together other various things that I’ve been doing…..but some are a bit wild and post those as well. This is a new blog that I’ve started. In fact I will be coming out with a book I’m currently writing. Let me know if you would like any other information, I will be glad to reply….diana

Hi. I wanted to drop you a quick note to express my thanks. I’ve been following your blog for a month or so and have picked up a ton of good information as well as enjoyed the way you’ve structured your site. I am attempting to run my own blog but I think its too general and I want to focus more on smaller topics. Being all things to all people is not all that its cracked up to be.
