When Lucy van Pelt says she wants to return to Grit City Comic Show… who are we to say no! Plus, we don’t want to get bullied. Welcome back, the voice of Lucy van Pelt from Peanuts, Melanie Kohn, at the Tacoma Convention Center on November 7th.

Melanie Kohn started in theatre at three years old and landed a role as an extra in The Godfather at seven. She went on to voice “Lucy van Pelt” from 1974-1977 in “Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown,” “It’s a Mystery, Charlie Brown,” “It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown,” “You're a Good Sport, Charlie Brown,” and the full-length feature film “Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown.” She also voiced “Lucy” in TV commercials for Weber’s and Millbrook Bread.
