Buteau performed for the first time three days after September 11, 2001.
She spent five years doing standup, and then landed a role on Comedy Central, and in 2017, Esquire named her “one of ten comedians to watch.” She won more praise from Time Magazine said that “Late Night Whenever!” was “one of the best podcasts of 2018 so far.” Buteau also appeared on Netflix on “The Comedy Lineup.”
