Instructor: Lisa Sundstedt

Lisa Sundstedt, is one of the most seasoned and most celebrated comediennes , stand-up comedy writers and producers in the business today. Her very first stand up gig was at a gay bar in West Hollywood called “The Rage”. Mustering up that kind of ballsy-broad attitude, Lisa entered a comedy contest and won first place. The win garnered her a little money and a lot of self-esteem! 
So, in 1995, when some jackass at the Hollywood Improv told her, "pretty women can’t be funny",Lisa grabbed the trademark and created "Pretty Funny Women"... one of the longest running all female comedy shows in the world. 
Lisa has a keen eye for talent and has helped launched the careers of hundreds of female comedians. Some of the comics who have been featured in past PFW industry showcases include Chelsea Handler, Sherri Shepherd, Maria Bamford, Vicki Barbolak, Natasha Leggero, and Heather McDonald. 
In 2005, Lisa started teaching and now runs the only comedy school in Los Angeles…. for women. She has taught over two thousand women (including a few celebs) the exact formula to master stand up comedy. 
Lisa has also written on TV shows like “Girls Behaving Badly”, “The Chelsea Handler Show,”“Chelsea Lately”, a variety of reality shows and was a producer on “Parental Discretion with Stefanie Wilder-Taylor” for Nickelodeon. Currently, she produces monthly showcases featuring women comics from around the world.
