She was very popular in the San Francisco Bay Area. Back in 93 she made a surprise appearance at the San Francisco Opera. They stopped the opera in the middle of the performance and brought her on stage, in costume, and she spent about ten minutes making the sort of jokes she was famous for from the show. The audience loved it.

RIP Mrs. Slocum. I laughed til I cried at her “pussy on the ledge” episode.
I wish someone would find that and play it again.

A very funny lady, and I am unanimous in that!

Betty Slocombe was a popular old gal with the San Francisco Opera crowd?
I simply can’t imagine why. Can you?
:-D )))
