With a casual delivery, Renton native Monica Levi delivers punch lines that slyly insinuate themselves into your mind. She thrives on addressing stand-up staples: dating, sex, pot, family dynamics, the pros and cons of various places, and kids (she used to work with them and she assures you that “they’re the worst people in the world”). That employment experience convinced Nevi that she doesn’t want to have her own children. She recounts: “I took a pregnancy test the other day—not because I was scared, but because I like the feeling when it comes back negative.” by Dave Segal
