Cellulite, which debuted at the Society Hill Playhouse in 2003, is a kinetic combination of comedy, memoir and serious social commentary. Huston often found herself recapping her irreverent life stories during keynote gigs (she's done everything from farming weed on a California co-op to caretaking an island in the South Atlantic), but time constraints squelched her tangential style.

For Huston, who is HIV-positive, supporting FIGHT is extremely important. But that doesn't mean that she can't have some fun—at her own expense. "It's really funny to me," laughs Huston. "It's a matter of perspective. It's like once you give people permission to laugh [at HIV], then they just roar. It's pent-up PC. One of the most appealing things is finding healing in the tragedy."
