Sarah
Connor is a Madison, Wisconsin-based comedian and Massachusetts native whose
comedy illustrates what happens when you try to paint "sexy" over a primer
coat of "tomboy." Connor combines quick-witted New England sass with
a background in improv and sketch comedy to create a unique comedic style and
presence. Her strong, sarcastic humor, delivered with a voice of playful
authority, makes mothers, daughters, and dates laugh, and fathers wonder about
their daughters.
Sarah has opened for several national
headliners, including Darryl Lenox, Eric Griffin, Kevin Bozeman, Jamie Lissow, Bret Ernst, and Mike
Baldwin. She was featured at Boston’s Geek Week Comedy Festival, the North Carolina Comedy Arts Festival, and the Limestone Comedy Festival. With material centering on the observational
absurdities of single adult life, she speaks for women who are still burdened
by a functioning appropriate conversation filter. She has been described by
drunk audience members as both “a sexy Lewis Black” and a “dirty Vonnegut,” as
well as “Really awesome!” by musician Susan Tedeschi, the best comedy judge of
all time.
Originally from a part of Massachusetts that
doesn’t have an accent, Sarah was
a comedic improvisor and sketch comedian for over 10 years before beginning a
career in stand-up comedy. The result is a unique combination of entertaining,
animated, vocal and visual stand-up comedy. She has performed at colleges and
universities, national festivals, and frat house dining rooms with UMass
Amherst's renowned Mission:IMPROVable and Casual Sketch, the Chicago Playground
Theater, and ImprovBoston.
She studied writing at Chicago’s
Second City and is creator and director of the improvised crime drama
CSI:Boston, Special Comedy Unit at ImprovBoston. She’s a contributing writer to
Bridesmaiding.com, has
over a quarter million hits on her song and music video parodies on YouTube,
and is Madison’s undefeated limbo champion of 2012. She hosts the Argus Underground Comedy Showcase and open mic every Monday night in Madison, and can
readily be spotted intimidating the life out of any man who tries to talk to
her.
