ABOUT THE ARTIST
Liz Coin is a NYC-based actor, writer, and sketch comedian originally from Bettendorf, Iowa. Liz holds a BA from Northwestern University and is a proud Second City alum. As a professional silly goose, Liz has appeared on stages and screens around the country – notably, The Second City (Chicago), The PIT (BoogieManja Characters), Magnet Theater (Livewire Sketch Shows), and Broadway's Next Hit Musical US tour.
Liz believes that laughter is the best medicine and she’s ready to fill your prescription! Liz teaches improv in rehab centers (and beyond) with a special focus in bringing sunshine to those touched by addiction. With her unwavering welcoming energy, audiences feel like they’re all on the same team. You might cry, but you WILL laugh, and we'll do it together!
“Lizzy Sunshine is the biggest risk I’ve taken as an artist - it reveals not only what is deeply true about me and about my brother’s struggles with addiction, but also my unique voice as an improviser, comedian, and entertainer.
I take the audience’s hand figuratively and literally (there is a lot of participation!) and let them understand and trust Lizzy Sunshine with over-the-top fun, creating a safe space for moments of raw vulnerability.
Ultimately it’s about having empathy not only for those who are struggling personally, but for yourself as a loved one of someone who’s struggling—which is a lot of us.”
WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
Authentic joy
Toxic positivity & the pressure of performance

Loving someone with addiction
Don't worry - this show IS NOT SAD!
It is a heartfelt whirlwind of FUN and DRAMA.
You might cry, you WILL laugh, and we’ll do it together.
