At the age of fifteen, Suzanne found herself on the streets with no where to go. Although she had some loving, caring adults in her life during the formative years-her aunt, uncle and grandmother-everyone who looked out for her and her brother had died by the time she turned twelve. After suffering abuse from her mom's boyfriends on various occasions, the courts took her from her home. After running away from county shelters, Suzanne was determined to take care of herself. One night, she saw an ad in the evening paper looking for dancers. They were paying a few hundred dollars a week. That was great money at the time, and she thought, well, I can dance. Her dream was to be on TV and have her name in lights on the Vegas strip, so she figured this was her shot. Suzanne would spend the next thirty years dancing at strip clubs. During this time she developed some great friendships with other girls as they discussed their "daddy issues."In her late twenties Sue enrolled in a comedy competition through a radio station in her hometown of Pittsburgh PA. She had no idea at the time how this would change the course of her life. Through combining her stripper act and love for comedy, she created the character of "Bag Lady Sue." The Bag Lady has been entertaining audiences-especially at biker rallies and veteran's charities-all across the United States for the past thirty years.Sue takes you through her deepest struggles to her greatest victories, and all the men in between. You will laugh, cry? and blush.
