The Norwegian Frauline (Bio)
New Year's Eve 2007 - Comedy in the "round" at Al's Sports Bar in Glencoe, MN
Hopester, aka "The Tanning Bed Lady" performing in 2006 in Winona, MN
About the "Norwegian Frauline," aka "The Tanning Bed Lady"...

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
