Comic Mary Hanson comes to us from the Windy City, where she worked as a Paramedic for the Chicago Fire Department. Mary has been married for twenty three years (to the same person), and has raised three teenagers. So for Mary the future held either therapy or comedy. Since it was infinitely cheaper, she chose comedy

            Mary began her comedy career at Scottsdale Community College, under the instruction of Dee Anne Kinkade. After successfully completing this grueling course, Mary moved over to the Comedy Spot in Scottsdale, following Dee Anne, since she would continue to her mentor.

            When not practicing her stand-up, Mary has her own business working as a Decorative Artist doing faux finishes, murals, and interior design. But her first love is comedy.

            Mary's heroes in Comedy are Jonathan Winters, Carol Burnett, Robin Williams and of course Rodney Dangerfield (God bless him)
