Sheryl Underwood Headlines at UP
Sheryl Underwood, named one of today's hardest working comediennes, is at UP Comedy Club this weekend. Underwood, who has starred in such films as Bullworth, I Got the Hook Up, and Beauty Shop, starring Queen Latifah, will bring her life experience and world-views to Chicago for two shows only.
Among her titles are business owner, sorority President, on-air personality, philanthropist, former member of the armed forces, comedian, and many others.
Underwood was included in the "100 Most Influential Organization Leaders" published in the June 2009 issue of Ebony magazine, and was the host of Black Entertainment Television's (BET's) "Comic View" and "Holla", a talk show she created and produced which was loosely based on Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect.
She is a weekly contributor on the Steve Harvey Morning Show, also serving as guest host, and appears on The Steve Harvey Project, the television version of the show airing on TV-ONE. Underwood also hosts The Sheryl Underwood Show on Jamie Foxx's The Foxxhole, airing on Sirius 106/XM 149, where she provides a mix of political satire, comedy and music.
As Owner and CEO of Pack Rat Productions, Inc., Underwood is committed to sharing the wisdom and insight she has gathered as the Chief Executive of her entertainment company with generations to come, as well as current female business owners.
By daring to break the mold, Sheryl Underwood has become a source of inspiration and a supreme model of what it takes to lead in business, lead an international organization and lead in life. You can buy tickets for this weekends' shows here, or call the Second City Box Office at 312.337.3992. Featuring for Underwood this weekend is comedian Kyle Erby.
