About
Ivy Eisenberg is an award-winning humor writer, comedian and storyteller. She has appeared on various stages throughout the Greater NYC area and in Washington, DC. Ivy emcees and co-produces Pros(e) of Pie, the popular monthly storytelling and pie-bake-off show in the Hudson Valley area, north of NYC. In 2017, Ivy debuted her solo show “Loud, Large and Funny,” a hilarious musical about finding her way out of the depths of despair after being sucker-punched, in her late 50s, with a surprise layoff from a corporate job. Ivy also co-produces Solo Heroes, a forum for solo artists who are developing solo performance pieces. Quarterly events in NYC feature excerpts from works-in-progress, readings, and completed shows.
