Siobhan
Cottone, Lakeside’s Executive Director, remarked, “Lakeside is excited to bring
new and exciting talent to 'the Listening Room'. It is a fabulous venue for not
only music, but all types performing arts! Previous comedy shows in ‘the
Listening Room’ have packed the room, so make sure to purchase your tickets
today.”

Ostrow is an
experienced comedian who performs stand-up comedy, improvisation, and laughter
yoga in the Chicago area in addition performing before worldwide organizations.
She also conducts improv workshops for actors and non-actors. Her training in
improvisational acting comes from The Second City in Chicago, while she also
gains other experience by being a certified laughter yoga leader. Let's not
forget that Ostrow has the honor of being America’s first ever laughing
champion. A laughing championship is a public contest where people compete in a
series of laughter skills. The contests are usually judged on contagiousness,
hilarity and technique. Since the 1st one in Montreal in 2011, there have been
contests in Japan, France, the UK, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Austria and
California.

Ostrow’s goal
is to facilitate laughter in the lives of people while acting as a catalyst for
rediscovering and recreating joy, creativity, and childlike playfulness. “We
know audiences will be laughing off their seat from Ostrow’s witty humor,”
stated Roger Reupert ‘the Listening Room’ house manager when asked about
Ostrow’s comedy.

Joining Ostrow
during this Comedy Showcase is a very talented group of women that are sure to
entertain and amuse you. Judi Schindler from Chicago, Liysa Croll Callsen from
Manitowoc, WI, Mary Foland from Crystal Lake, IL, Leah Emmerich, and Sital Shah
