Ladman's comedy is self-described as "self-probing, anxiety-venting vehicle" for "exposing personal neurosis".[1] She is currently working on a new solo show, entitled, Does This Show Make Me Look Fat?.[2]
In 2007, she will be featured in the Off-Broadway production J.A.P. - The Princesses of Comedy, which includes live standup routines by four female Jewish comics juxtaposed with the stories of legendary performers from the 1950s and 1960s, Totie Fields, Jean Carroll, Pearl Williams, Betty Walker and Belle Barth.
