The Oracle spoke with Foley about her experience with stand-up and what she has planned next.

Q: How did you get your start in comedy?
A: I got started in New York City. I was doing some improve in a comedy club and started watching stand-up. One thing led to another and I started doing stand-up. New York is the best place to do stand-up, so it was a good start.

Q: You have been in films and television, do you prefer acting or stand-up?
A: I definitely love stand-up the best. I like the live aspect of it and it is so creative. I can write all day and try the material out at night.

Q: How do you come up with your material?
A: Just from observation. I have been doing it for 14 years now. I pull from everywhere from stuff in the newspaper to stuff on TV or just conversations I have. I take it all in and whatever makes me laugh I try to write on it and hopefully others laugh as well.

Q: What can the audience expect from the performance?
A: Wow that is a difficult question to answer. It is a comedy show, so hopefully people will get a laugh. I don’t know. I always get asked that question, but it is so subjective. I just love how people can come in and take an hour or an hour and a half off from their lives and laugh the whole time and have a good time. That is always my goal.

Q: Have you had any moments on the road that really stand out?
A: When I first started out I did a lot of college shows. Once at a college in Peoria, Illinois, I was performing in a cafeteria and a group of frat boys were, well being a—holes, and one didn’t like that I kept putting him in his place and he threw an onion ring at me. That was pretty funny. It wasn’t funny then, but looking back it is. But over all I have had wonderful experiences, but that is definitely one of the most ridiculous moments I have experienced.

Q: Are you working on any projects right now?
A: I am writing a lot. I have a new podcast that I started six months ago, it is called “Sports Without Balls.” I really love sports, so I sit down with a player, a coach or a bunch of female comics and talk about sports and current events. I am trying to take that and develop it into a TV show at some point in time. That is my new little passion project. It is for free to download on ITunes.

Q: Have you performed in Tampa before?
A: I actually have never performed in Tampa. My parents live about an hour south and I always go down in March for my mom’s birthday. We’re huge basketball fans and we do the whole March Madness thing. So I thought since I am coming down here, I should do a show. I really like Florida and enjoy the visits. I am really excited about my first time in Tampa.

Q: What is your favorite thing about being on the road?
A: I think it is meeting people. I really love meeting people and explore different cities. You have to love to travel as a comedian, because it is such a huge aspect of stand-up. It is un-predictable. It’s a live show, anything can happen. And I love that.
