Mid-Columbia Pride Celebration: Headliner & Grand Marshall: Vickie Shaw
Vickie Shaw...
looks like the woman next door ... All-American with blond hair, lipstick and polished nails. Once she opens her mouth, you'll know she was born and raised in Texas and you'll never stop laughing. After eighteen years of marriage and three kids, something was missing in Vickie's life...
"People were always coming up to me and saying, 'You should do stand-up comedy.'
Vickie did become a stand-up comic and came out as a lesbian at the same time.
'I would've come out as a stand-up, but it would've killed my parents.'
