Suzanne Willett was born in East Hartford, Connecticut, which means you can..t place her accent.
After eight years of prison--Catholic school--Suzanne decided an enlistment in the Army would be a welcome freedom.
While in the Army, Suzanne received the Joint Service Achievement Medal.
Don..t ask her what for..she..d have to kill you.
Anyway, Suzanne left the Army and went back to college in a successful attempt to achieve the American dream.
And since she has a math block, what better to major in than Electrical Engineering? So, she got her undergraduate degree in Electronic Engineering Technology from the University of Hartford and received her Master..s Degree in Electrical Engineering from Fairleigh Dickinson University.
Armed with the requisite sheepskin, Suzanne began a high-powered career, working for New York Telephone, Knight-Ridder Financial and Nationsbank on Wall Street.
Not content with the regular hours and great compensation, Suzanne decided to write.
Not just anything--well, actually anything--but anything with humor.
Because, as Suzanne says, ..Nobody..s going to listen to me complain if I don..t have a punch line...
Beginning in 1990, Suzanne wrote novels, plays, even children..s stories, and in 1998 decided to take the big leap into standup comedy.
Why? ..Because an audience is going to tell you if your material is funny or not...
Boy, was she right.
Working her way up through the grueling comedy underground, Suzanne went from open-mic..er to opener to feature to headliner, working in clubs around the country.
She has appeared with Billy Gardell, Basile and JJ Walker.
Suzanne..s TV credits include appearing on Fox..s ..Good Day Tampa Bay..; and NBC..s ..Daytime...
She contributed to NPR..s ..Take Two..
series.
Her print credits include: Washington Post; Miami Herald; Seattle Times; New York Daily News; Chicago Tribune; Cincinnati Post; Houston Chronicle; Augusta Chronicle; Tulsa World; Desert Morning News; Tallahassee Democrat; Buffalo News; Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
She won the Talent of Tampa Bay and was a finalist at California..s Funniest Female contest.
She opened for Billy Gardell, Basile and JJ Walker.
Professional credits include: Winner--Talent of Tampa Bay and Finalist--California..s Funniest Female.
Not content with the irregular hours and poor compensation, Suzanne decided to write solo shows: Why? Well, as Suzanne puts it: ..I..m evolving...
Is she an artist or what?
Suzanne..s first show, PAIN: So Funny It Hurts debuted in January 2003 garnering four stars in the Edmonton Fringe Festival.
She debuted The Feminazi in March 2005 and has garnered 4 stars from the Edmonton Journal and SEE Magazine.
Where will she go from here? ..Probably not Broadway.
I can..t sing...
