Biography!

Joselyn Hughes Joselyn Hughes is a stand-up comedienne, improvisor and actor. She has performed all over the Midwest and recently has relocated to New York City.

Before moving to NYC, Joselyn co-founded SpitFire, an all female stand up group as well as co-producing “Your Sunday Best,” a weekly comedy show featuring Chicago’s best stand up comics.

Born in the Chicago suburbs, Joselyn was a dancer for most of her childhood. Apparently, someone during that time would say something that would later make her leave dancing for comedy. I’m not sure what it was, since I didn’t grow up with her and I just write short bios for websites, but I’m sure it was pretty significant. Oh, and I mean dancer like classically trained, not stripper-whore dancer. ...Actually, I take that back, I’m not exactly sure. I’ll check and get back to you.

Anyway, her comedy career began the day she enrolled at the infamous Second City training center in Chicago, and since then she has trained at the Annoyance Theater, Act One Studios and the Acting Studio and currently at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater in New York City. She has performed all over doing stand up, improv and sketch, and will continue to do so despite all of her mother’s subtle references to the security and stability of an office job.
