At five feet three inches, Sue Costello may look harmless, but once she
opens her mouth, it is obvious that this blonde means business - funny
business. Sue has the ability to bring a room full of patrons to tears
with her comedic disposition and vivacious wit. That mixed with her
vulnerability and honesty has made her one of the few women in the
business who can do what she does.
From her thick Boston accent to her street smart demeanor to her
ability to make you feel like you want to take care of her, and be her
best friend, Sue has the "it" factor. After graduating from the
University of Massachusetts with a bachelor Degree in Theatre Arts, Sue
began her career as a stand-up comedian in Boston, later re-locating to
the bustling city of Manhattan.
Since that time, she has appeared on several television shows such as
"NYPD Blue" and "Tough Crowd" with Colin Quinn and Comedy Central.
After starring in two t.v. pilots for CBS, Sue earned her very own self
titled television series, "Costello". Sue was also a producer and the
co-creator of the show. Though "Costello" lived a short life on air,
Sue received various accolades for her energetic wit. Sue was a guest
host on NBC's "Later". She has also performed on Comedy Central's
"Premium Blend". In addition to television appearances, Sue has also
honed her performing skills on the stage and the big screen. Sue was
cast in such films as "Southie" directed by John Shea, and "Once in the
Life", with Laurence Fishburne.
Sue's already extensive resume continues to grow, she performed with
Rosie Perez, Alan Cumming and Olympia Dukakis at the Nantucket Film
Festival's Story telling event. She co-starred in Jim Breuer's pilot
for Comedy Central. Her stand up reached a new level this year when she
made to the finals of NBC's Last Comic Standing. Sue
has also been a regular guest host on "Breuer Unleashed" on Sirius
radio.
