“Lauren’s program was fun, informative and engaging! It was wonderful to be able to bring the world of theatre directly to our residents!”
Lauren skillfully weaves together history, comedy, and original witty songs to reframe and reclaim the Jewish Mother character, celebrating what we treasure in that heritage while exploring how to move past a dated, inaccurate, and hurtful stereotype.
DON’T MIND ME
(I’LL JUST SIT HERE IN THE DARK)

“Lauren Mayer has a unique ability to find “the funny” in the most challenging social issues we face in America today. She has been an invaluable voice on my podcast; she’s the cherry on top of the sundae in my live stage comedy extravaganzas."
Christine Krolik, Producer/Director, Burlingame Country Club.
“Lauren is simply the best. A supreme wordsmith, clever lyrics, genius composer. I feel so blessed to be able to work with her!”
Every week, Lauren writes a topical comedy song about current events, from a feminist, progressive, and slightly snarky progressive. She started in 2012, so she has over 600 songs from which to tailor a performance.

“Lauren & Scott’s joy and artistry brought the house down! Definitely on our repeat playlist."
Lauren and her crooner husband Scott Grinthal are a new twist on the typical cabaret duo – he’s the good-looking singer, and she’s the wise-cracking pianist and backup singer, reminiscent of Lucy and Desi, Steve and Edie and Louis Prima and Keely Smith. (Yikes, did they just betray their age?). Their programs include standards, popular singalongs, and their signature cabaret show, looking at the ups and downs of wedded bliss through show tunes, pop favorites, and original stories.
YES, DEAR!
