Who is this Comedian I'm Remembering?

Name that comedian: Woman, 50s, grey hair, not uber-famous.
A date took me to see some comedy in 2010 and I recall seeing a comedian who I'm trying to name. I saw her at a club in Montreal, but she could have been American. She was late 40s or 50s and had long-ish grey hair. Her style was subdued, not super-animated. Any ideas? I've become a big comedy fan in the last couple of years but have yet to come across her in the many comedy podcasts I listen to or elsewhere.

Long shot, but when I think of subdued 50s-ish female comedians, I think of Margaret Smith, especially this bit from her Comedy Central special.

Paula Poundstone? Although looking at more recent pictures of her, her hair isn't grey.

Tig Notaro? Well, maybe not the long hair.
