Kristeen von Hagen has been hailed as one of the Top 30 Power Women in Canada by Elle Magazine alongside such entertainers as Avril Lavigne, Sarah Polley, and Wrestling Diva Trish Stratus. She was the recipient of a Canadian Comedy Award for Best Female Stand-up of 2002. She toured Western Canada with Puppetry of the Penis; not as the main attraction, of course, but she was a fantastic fluffer.
