Here's the Susan Vass resume

"I've been married so long, I am on my third bottle of Tabasco sauce...."

Susan Vass

Remember Baumbach Drug? Remember Susan Baumbach? The 1964 Jefferson High grad has made quite a name for herself. Last Friday she was back in her hometown to entertain at the Alexandria Education Hall of Fame lunch.
Here's what her web site says about her:

Susan Vass is a woman who knows how to laugh at life. Called both “a young Erma Bombeck” and “a female Jay Leno”, Susan has helped audiences “laugh their way to good health” in over 2,000 appearances from coast to coast.
With her roots in stand-up comedy, Susan has opened for such national acts as Robert Goulet, Andy Williams, Lee Greenwood, The Smothers Brothers, Doc Severinsen, Jay Leno, and Joan Rivers.
She is a veteran of countless television and radio appearances, including Rosie O’Donnell’s “Standup Spotlight”, PBS’s comedy special about Minnesota comics, “Land O’Loons”, and National Public Radio’s “Prairie Home Companion” with fellow-Minnesotan Garrison Keillor.
She is the author of a best-selling humor book, “Laughing Your Way to Good Health”.
Famous for her squeaky-clean, corporate-appropriate comedy shows, she has literally entertained car salesmen at breakfast and nuns the same night!
ALL Women Can Relate To Susan!
With over four decades of actual experience as a female, Susan easily turns her vivid imagination and powers of everyday observation to the lighter side of womanhood She co-produced and headlined in the wildly-successful comedy revue "What's So Funny About Being Female?" which ran five nights a week, five months of the year, for five years straight in the popular Dudley Riggs' Theatre in Minneapolis.
One of Susan's specialties is Women's Health Day events for hospital women's centers, and she has delighted sold-out audiences from Connecticut to California, from Louisiana to North Dakota, from New Mexico to New York, and from South Dakota to South Carolina.
As a wife and mother, Susan is a natural crowd-pleaser at "spouse" events. But, because she is a businesswoman (and has worked as a retail clerk, secretary, childcare provider and night-shift typesetter), she also understands the needs and stresses of women who work outside the home.
But NOT For Women Only...
Q: Our event is all or mostly men. Will THEY relate Susan’s humor?
A: ABSOLUTELY! An inveterate tomboy since childhood, Susan lives in an all-male family, and knows what makes guys laugh. She has played such predominantly all-male groups as the American Meat Institute (butchers and meat producers), Honeywell Solid-State Engineers, Honeywell Military Avionics, International Conference of Scientists and Engineers of Montreal, Parsons-Brinckerhoff Engineering Firm and Health Care Financial Managers Association (for example).

"Some are saying you are the best banquet entertainer in 20 to 30 years--as long as they have been coming to these annual bashes."
