Lisa Sundstedt drops by and talks about her highly successful "Pretty, Funny Women" show, comedy beginnings, and finding the humor in being bipolar. &nbsp; Lisa Sundstedt is an accomplished stand up comic, writer, singer, actress and producer. Her first professional gig was singing and dancing at Tokyo Disneyland in Japan. She spent another few months singing on an Italian cruise ship, followed by four years on the road with the infamous 50's rock group "Sha Na Na". In 1995 her then-boyfriend said, "pretty women aren't funny!" so Lisa became a stand-up comic and created "Pretty, Funny Women"...the longest running all female comedy show in the country. Their relationship broke up, but her career took off and she immediately landed herself a big time Hollywood agent, a holding deal with Tri Star Television, and the Montreal Comedy Festival where she shared the stage with Ray Romano. She then booked the Chicago Comedy Festival, where she shared a room with Doug Stanhope. She has written on shows like “Girls Behaving Badly”, “The Chelsea Handler Show” and “Chelsea Lately”, “Coach Charming” for TLC and was a producer on “Parental Discretion with Stefanie Wilder-Taylor” for Nick Mom. She has done hundreds of national commercials and voice-overs, including campaigns for Vons/Safeway, Mattel, Ford, Kraft, and more.  Lisa produces live "Pretty Funny Women" shows at The Comedy Store in Hollywood, Flappers in Burbank &amp; currently teaches stand up comedy classes for women in Los Angeles. Her hobbies include gambling and, well…that’s it.

FLAPPERS UNIVERSITY  Both Locations offer a full range of comedy classes for kids, teens and adults that include everything from stand up comedy, writing for late night televsion, improv and even business of comedy classes such as Marketing and Promoting yourself as an artist.  Students will also particpate in showcases and have lots of opportunities to view shows.  At Flappers University, we believe that comedy is truly an art-form—a combination of raw talent and technique.   Talent can be lost without technique, so we first teach joke structure and the basic language of comedy. We also believe that what makes a great comedian is being personal and authentic and, perhaps, a rule-breaker, so we provide a safe and fun environment where you can be just that: authentic, inspired and successful. Whether you are already a working comedian or looking to make it your profession, or simply need help with that next presentation or just want to come and have fun, we can help you find the path to funny.   Shannon Gettins, FU’s dean, has been wowing audiences as a club and corporate comedienne for the past decade. Her raucous  humor and sharp comedic insight won her top spot at the California Comedy Conference in 2006, and took her all the way to the finals of California’s Funniest Female in 2007.   In 2005 Shannon began coaching at Judy Carter’s Comedy Workshops and two years later she launched Comedy Relief, teaching stand-up comedy and Improv to adults and teens all over Southern California.
