Highwire Improviser Profile

Bridie Powers

Bridie is a parody songwriter and improvisor for the masses and, perhaps more importantly, for her three children. She is a stand up comedian, a sketch comedy writer, emcee, karaoke aficionado, and cheese lover who loves short walks on the beach and speaking in obscure accents. Bridie Powers is a graduate of The Second City Chicago Conservatory Program. She continues to perform with several ensemble groups, including Royal Improv Fun Foundry and Mind Your Business. In a former life, Bridie was a successful competitive dance choreographer and former dancer. Though performing comedy is where her heart lies, her biggest accomplishments will always be giving birth and eating a block of cheese to completion.
