She starred in plays, sang in the church choir, and even compete in the Miss Mississippi pageant. But backstage at the pageant, she was gripped by severe stage fright and made a deal with God: \u003ci\u003eIf you help me get through this, I will never, ever get onstage again. \u003c\/i\u003eAfter successfully hitting the high note in \"Adelaide's Lament\" from the musical \u003ci\u003eGuys and Dolls, \u003c\/i\u003eshe packed up her drama clothes for good--or so she thought. \u003cbr\u003e When the pandemic hit, Ellen longed to bring a little joy to the dark struggles the world was facing. She thought about all of times she'd asked Jesus to walk with her through pain and heartache--and how often He'd laughed with or comforted her, even during her blazing hot flashes. So she decided to share that message with others, in 30-second videos on Instagram that quickly went viral. \u003cbr\u003e Holding a remote control in her hand, Ellen \"calls\" Jesus with comments and questions, including asking Him not to make her an advance maternal age mama (again) and if He could bless the nourishment of her food to someone else's body. She also asks for advice when her best friend's ex-husband's new wife shows up in the next pew, or what nursing home plans to make when she's eight years past your first geriatric pregnancy. \u003cbr\u003e From a pageant queen with stage fright, to viral videos, to her growing popularity as a stand-up comedian with sold-out performances, Ellen's humor is rooted in southern charm and culture. Her relatable stories in \u003ci\u003eHey Jesus, It's Me\u003c\/i\u003e will bring levity to our lives, or at least some validation that we're not the only ones asking if we can ghost our relatives in heaven.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEllen Skrmetti \u003c\/b\u003egot started in comedy after training at the famous and premier school of comedy, Second City.
