She's currently on Broadway in Young Frankenstein playing Frau Blucher. And while she's a plus for any show she's in (and YF can use a few pluses), we'll always adore Andrea Martin for the gallery of off-the-wall characters she created on the old SCTV series.
To get a taste of leopard-patterned Edith Prickley and her tight-lipped sister Edna Boil of Tex and Edna Boil's Organ Emporium, see them both here. And you'll want to meet the New Age relic Libby Wolfson, reporter Tawny Beaver, the communication-challenged Perini Scleroso and see her Streisand turn, paired with 'Ruth Gordon', in the movie trailer for Rich and Jealous.
Once you get hooked, you can buy much of the SCTV series on DVD.
