TroopFest 2008 — Entertainment Lineup

Tina Allen, TroopFest 2008 Emcee
Tina Allen is a California native with one foot stuck in New Jersey. Her comedy covers dating, family, kids, skiing, being a teacher, growing up Catholic in today's world, and getting older. She entertains audiences around the bay area with her quick wit and cynicism. You can relate to her experiences, but don't be fooled, she looks like she has a soft side but it's not easily found.
