With Special Guest Comedian

Susan Rice loves to make people laugh. She began her professional comedy career in 1983 and is still making people laugh at 41 years as a professional comedian. 

Now in her 70’s Rice has found a broader range of audience than she remembers ever having as a young comedian. She recently appeared on the Youtube channel for Don’t Tell Comedy where her set and clips acquired millions of views. A month later she was asked to audition in front of celebrity judges on NBC’s America’s Got Talent.  

Susan believes that humor and laughter heal. Her favorite quote is; “I couldn’t wait for success so I went ahead without it.” Jonathan Winters.
