Kelli Dunham is not your typical houseboating-dwelling, skateboard riding, ex-nun-on-the-run dyke comic and "I am NOT a 12 Year Old Boy" is not your typical comedy CD.
Kelli, who longs to discover she is the love child of Chris Farley and Eddie Izzard, is gently edgy in her comedic observations about life on the run from overzealous (and not very observant) truancy police, her convent misadventures and growing up baby dyke in a very very red state.
Kelli has shared the stage with Bitch and Animal, Doria Roberts, 35 Human, Sharon Katz and the Peace Train, Suede, Michele Balan, Jade Estrada Esteban, Pandora Scooter, Deidre Flint, the Royal Renegades, and even 90's pop icon Crystal Waters.
Kelli's stand-up, dances gently on the comedic edge, examining the contradictions in life, including her own.

"Who do you think they were trying to weed out with that one?" Kelli asks. "Still," Kelli says with a sly grin, "I had a good time. We had small classes, the teachers seemed to really care. And of course, there was softball."
Kelli followed up her time at Podunk Christian Academy with attendance at Podunk Bible College in Oklahoma City where she studied English (and of course, the Bible) and for a short time was even engaged. "Talk about your close calls," Kelli says, "If someone wants me to tell 'em
