Talent Biography

A veteran in the world of stand-up, Maryellen Hooper’s comedy has taken her from clubs and colleges to theaters

and television. She’s appeared on many late-night talk shows including several appearances on “The Tonight Show” with

Jay Leno. Her ½ hour special on Comedy Central called “Lounge Lizards” received rave reviews and was played on

heavy rotation. In 1998, the comedy industry awarded Maryellen “Funniest Female Stand-Up Comic” at the

American Comedy Awards. Recently, the Walt Disney Company has asked Maryellen to perform on all four of its

beautiful cruise ships; making her one of a very few comics who have.

A physical storyteller, Maryellen’s act is an ever-evolving saga about her life as a woman, wife, and mother. Never

crude or offensive, her accounts of life’s little annoyances leave audiences exhausted from laughter. From home

repairs on her family’s “Fixer Upper” to raising two odoriferous boys, no story is too sacred to share with her audiences.
