Missing her Stand-up days, Walter returned to the comedy stage, appearing on Gotham Comedy Live and Produced and producing and starring in Mom-O-Palooza Stand-up Show with Sherri Shepherd and Rosa Blasi which sold old an 400-seat venue in 3 days. But Walter is most proud of being a working mom of four with "One foot on the Red Carpet...The other at Costco" – and that her stomach is still reasonably flat after being the clown car they all came out of.
