Dykes on Mics was billed as a "best bet for comedy" several times by Time Out New York.

Beckerman has been seen on MTV, HERE TV, and Howard Stern. Most recently, she was named "Best Comic" at the GO Magazine Readers Choice Awards in 2012.

Beckerman is one of the few that genuinely loves to make people laugh. She says things other people think, but wouldn't have the balls to say. She is cynical with a twist of sarcasm she instills with every bite of life.
