Vanessa describes herself as “the funny chick from next door!” Known for her big hair and the personality to match; Comedienne, actress and writer Vanessa Fraction has spent ten years captivating audiences with her unique brand of hilarious, high-energy comedy. Her performances on “Russell Simmons Def Comedy Jam” (HBO) and “Martin Lawrence: 1st Amendment Stand Up” on Starz, cemented her as a solid choice for television work.
