Susan Theresa Burke

Susan Theresa Burke is an American writer, actress and stand-up comic.

Born and raised in Casper, Wyoming, she now lives and works in Los Angeles, California.

She is a frequent performer in the Los Angeles alternative comedy scene and has acted in film and television.

Burke is the co-writer of the 2012 film, Smashed, starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Aaron Paul.

Burke is open about getting sober at the age of 24, but most of her comedy and writing prior to Smashed has little to nothing to do with that, focusing instead on the absurdities of day-to-day life.
