English term or phrase: \"She\'s not even past here.\"
Other aspiring comedians have to "bark" on the streets to get gigs in the comedy club. This one woman gets a gig just by asking the manager.
The others are not pleased and say: "She's not even past here."

Any insight?

Estonian translation:ta pole siit (meist) isegi mööda jalutanud
Explanation:
I think that there is a spelling mistake in the source text and it should say 'She's not even passed here' which in given context means that she hasn't even walked past her fellow comedians performing on the street for access to the club, let alone performed herself, yet she has been granted a gig in the club. I would translate as follows:
ta pole siit isegi mööda jalutanud
or
ta pole meist isegi mööda jalutanud
