Pruett's acting work includes two award-winning shorts: Relationship to Patient (2024), directed by Caroline Creaghead, which premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and screened at Palm Springs ShortFest, Seattle's SIFF, and the Brussels Short Film Festival; and Bathroom Time (2022), directed by Sara Sabzi, a Vimeo Staff Pick that screened at Salute Your Shorts Festival, Women's Comedy Film Fest Chicago, and Grrl Haus Cinema Berlin.
Pruett was named Best Comedian in Portland by Willamette Week readers, and has been called a "comic-to-watch" by Splitsider and a "beloved queen of warm-hearted truthiness" by the Portland Mercury. She has appeared on Dan Savage's Savage Lovecast, Doug Loves Movies, and NPR's Live Wire, and performed at festivals including Bridgetown, SF Sketch Fest, Riot LA, All Jane Comedy Festival, and Bumbershoot.
Her solo show STELLAR debuted in Portland in 2016 and was later accepted into the Bootleg Solo Queens Festival in Los Angeles. Press called it "unapologetically feminine" and "body-positive, pro-self love and pro-female sexuality — overtly feminist and feel-good."
