Hi, I’m
Lisa O'Brien
Comedian/Actress/Writer

Welcome!
Hi, I'm Lisa! I am originally from Roswell, Georgia, but I am now a Chicago-based artist. I have spent the past four years in Cleveland Ohio obtaining my Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and International Studies at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). In October I returned to CWRU where I made my directorial debut as I directed CWRU's production of Silent Sky by Lauren Gunderson. Back in Chi-Town, I now focus mainly on comedy and writing, training in the Second City Conservatory Program, and I recently completed a sketch class with The Writing Lab and iO Theatre.​​
You can likely catch me performing at open mics, attending improv shows, or staring longingly out the window of the L train like I'm going on a great journey (the journey is to spend money I don't have on a sweet treat).
