Since her comedy debut in 2011 IRIS BENSON garnered such praise as bleak and honest," pleasantly dark, wonderfully weird, and pretty good for a woman by no one worth mentioning. Glenn Sumi of Toronto Now described her as least likeable, angry and misanthropic to which her best friends husband, Clint, retorted via Facebook, He doesn't like angry and misanthropic comics? So he's missing out on George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Dennis Leary, Lewis Black, Roseanne Barr......pretty much all my favorite comics.
