, Susan Messing.

She’s one of the founding members of The Annoyance Theater, where she has created roles in over thirty original productions including the longest-running musical in Chicago, Co-Ed Prison Sluts. Susan teaches and performs at the Annoyance Theater and the iO Theater and has also taught improvisational comedy for DePaul University, The University of Chicago and Loyola University. Her essays have been published in The Second City Almanac of Improvisation and in Charna Halpern's book, Art By Committee. Susan has also had multiple television and movie appearances, including a role in the film “Let’s Go to Prison”. We talk a little about that experience and how much she loved it.

Susan is known all over for being a strong, unfiltered performer. She has been a source of inspiration to performers everywhere, including myself. We had a very honest and fun conversation today, and I’m so excited to share this conversation with all of you!
