MARGARET SMITH

Margaret Smith began her comedy career studying at the famed Second City Theater in Chicago. "After getting enough parking tickets to paper a small bathroom" she left Chicago and moved to New York where she began performing at local comedy clubs. It was only a few years on the New York club scene before she was spotted by one of David Letterman's talent scouts and invited to make her first appearance on national television.

Her acerbic wit and delivery have made her popular with the press, as well as an invited guest on numerous late night shows and specials. The American Comedy Awards presented her with the Funniest Female Stand Up Comic award in 1996. She has toured live and throughout the US as well as Montreal, Queens Theater, London, Amsterdam and Australia. She is a regular on the Tonight Show and Conan O'Brien. She just recorded her first live CD, "As It Should Be." Margaret was most recently seen as a regular on the Fox Network's "That 80's Show."

Nominated 1994 Comedy Awards for the Best Female Standup:

" Regular on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien

" 7 appearances on Late Night with David Letterman

Other Television appearances include:

" CNN " PBS " HBO " FOX Network " Showtime " E! Network " VH-1 " Comedy Central "

The Press:

On Margaret's tour of live performances she was covered in over 30 major newspapers for her unique style and stage persona.

"Ms. Smith, blithely disregarding the conventional wisdom that female comics must labor within proscribed borders, has gone her own way…"

-New York Times

"Smith's acerbic commentary about life hits the mark in a twilight zone sort of way…"

-Buffalo News

"Smith, cool delivery and hot candor…"

-Village Voice

"She can make people laugh with one hand behind her back…She had something funny and negative to say bout every topic…"

Fort Worth Star-Telegram

"The 90s may be a time when comedians become performing playwrights. Margaret Smith is more interested in character development than collecting one liners…"

-Boston Globe
