The Story of Joan
Rumored to have been one of Nancy Reagan’s astrologers, Joan has since turned her intuitive gifts and stage wit into a signature blend of cosmic comedy and genuine insight. She reads tarot with empathy, humor, and through at least two layers of lenses—whether in private sessions, cabaret appearances, on her supernatural talk show at Washington Improv Theater, or as the soul of your next party.
Joan Q. as Joan Quigley
In 2022, Joan Q. portrayed her inspiration, Nancy Reagan’s Astrologer Joan Quigley, at Washington Improv Theater’s “Ask Me Anything,” and then answered questions from the audience.
