About Me
Shannon Bacchus is a nationally touring comedian based in Chicago. She is a queer, former beauty queen turned comedian. Her humor is the perfect mix of salty and sweet, like a snickers bar lost at sea. Her delightful anecdotes will tickle your funny bone and shocking punchlines will catch you off guard. The only thing she likes more than comedy is your pet dog. Please introduce them! Shannon's special skills include Speed Eating & Folding Fitted Sheets.
In addition to her bold stand-up, Shannon is also a trained Shakespearean Actor, and has trained and performed in improv comedy for almost a decade. Shannon is a cast member in the National Touring Company of Mission Improvable, the host and creator of the My Ex Life Podcast, and the co-founder of CatNip Cabaret. She is also on the celebrated teams: Improvised Jane Austen and Burlesque is More, and Fire and Beer.
Shannon has been featured at the Charleston Comedy Festival, Chicago SketchFest, and JailBreak Arts Festival, to name a few. She is also the host & creator of the My Ex Life Podcast on Spotify & Apple Podcasts.
