(NURSE) is a comic storyteller and graphic novelist. Her current solo show, Too Fat for China, about trying to adopt a tiny little baby by any means necessary, is a sequel to her graphic memoir, Good Eggs (Harper, 2010), which charts her travails with infertility, Judaism, art and family.  Roz Chast, the New Yorker cartoonist, called Potts’ memoir “sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always honest, intelligent, and completely involving.”  Too Fat for China premiered at the Gloucester Stage Company in 2019 to sold out houses. On the strength of those numbers Potts secured funding from the Boston Foundation to take the show to Boston and the Edinburgh Fringe festival. UK critics called Too Fat for China “whip smart, funny, heartwarming and heartbreaking.” In March of 2023, Potts won "Best Storytelling Show" at the Solo Show Festival in NYC and has since toured the show to DC, NYC and Chicago and will go to Lost Nation Theatre in VT soon. Potts lives and works in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
