Lots of specificity to pull out the comedy instead of hoping you'll be funny and then wanting to kill yourself. Your work will become more effortless, whether in long or short form.</P>

She continues to teach and perform improvisational comedy @ iO, The Annoyance, Second City, and DePaul University. Her standup act with her puppet, Jolly, was featured at the HBO/US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, and on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend and NBC’s Late Fridays, and her most impressive bit movie role was as a bad stripper in a halo brace in Let’s Go to Prison! Susan has been an improviser and comedian for over twenty four years. Nice things said about Susan include Chicago Magazine calling her “Funniest Woman in Chicago,” Chicago Reader naming her “Best Improviser in Chicago,” and recipient of CIF 2010 “Improviser of the Year.” You can see her f@&$ around in her critically-acclaimed show, Messing with a Friend, every Thursday @ The Annoyance, now in it's fourth year. </SPAN></DIV></SPAN><BR> <BR> </body>
