Hailing originally from Brooklyn Park (the good part), Minnesota, this funny lady has been performing in Minnesota clubs and the Midwest for a number of years now. She says she began her career in Comedy on a “dare” — and has been hooked!
One would think that being brought up as a Norwegian-German-Lutheran would have had her wild about Lutefisk, Hotdish and Sauerkraut - but, no! She dislikes the traditional and although she may LOOK like it, she's NOT QUITE the Girl-Next-Door!
With a repertoire from being Single to Toilet Paper and Tanning Beds, this Minnesota Comic/Machine Tool Coordinator/Traffic Manager will leave you “dancing” for more!
For Hope, performing is "better than any drug I could ever take (not that I have ever taken any, it just sounds good!)." She loves making people laugh and has been compared to Gary Shandling:
"You reminded me a little of Shandling in the sense that he can get away with innuendo like murder.
You've got a real pleasant presence on stage - real easygoing."
— Comedian and two-time Emmy Award winner Jeff Cesario
Hope has worked with some of Minnesota's biggest names in comedy:
| Scott Hansen Mike Meriweather |
Jeff Gerbino Chili Challis |
Maxine Jeffris Tammy Nerby |
| John DeBoer Robin Bach |
Alex Cole Michael Thorne |
Dave Mordal Dwight York |
| Dean Johnson | Rox Tarrant | The Stagebenders |
| Scott Novotny | Fancy Ray McCloney | Rob Brackenridge |
|
...and many more. |
