At the age of fifteen, Suzanne found herself on the streets with no where to go. Although she had some loving, caring adults in her life during the formative years-her aunt, uncle and grandmother-everyone who looked out for her and her brother had died by the time she turned twelve. After suffering abuse from her mom's boyfriends on various occasions, the courts took her from her home. After running away from county shelters, Suzanne was determined to take care of herself. One night, she saw an ad in the evening paper looking for dancers. They were paying a few hundred dollars a week. That was great money at the time, and she thought, well, I can dance. Her dream was to be on TV and have her name in lights on the Vegas strip, so she figured this was her shot. Suzanne would spend the next thirty years dancing at strip clubs. During this time she developed some great friendships with other girls as they discussed their "daddy issues."In her late twenties Sue enrolled in a comedy competition through a radio station in her hometown of Pittsburgh PA. She had no idea at the time how this would change the course of her life. Through combining her stripper act and love for comedy, she created the character of "Bag Lady Sue." The Bag Lady has been entertaining audiences-especially at biker rallies and veteran's charities-all across the United States for the past thirty years.Sue takes you through her deepest struggles to her greatest victories, and all the men in between. You will laugh, cry? and blush.…

After running away from county shelters, at the tender age of 15, Sue decided to try and take care of herself. One night she saw an ad in the local paper looking for dancers, she thought, well, I can dance!
From childhood, her dream was to see her name in lights on the Las Vegas strip, so she thought this might be her shot.
But for many years, she would spend her nights touring the bawdy, blue collar, burlesque clubs of the east, seeing things most kids never do, and developing an hysterical character she called "Bag Lady Sue."
The strip club crowds loved it and her, and word of her spread.
In her twenties, on a dare from one of the patrons, Sue went down to a local comedy club and got up on stage as herself. She had no idea at the time how that one night would change the course of her life forever!
Through her fearless nature and combining her love for comedy with her strip act the "Bag Lady", Sue left burlesque, headed off to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado with her young daughter Cheyenne and chased, and found her real dream.
She has been entertaining audiences in the tens of thousands from coast to coast at motorcycle rallies, rock concerts and military bases from Alaska to Florida, South Dakota to Texas, and New York to New Mexico.
She has opened for and shared the stage with the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kid Rock, Hank Jr. and hundreds of others.
Her videos have been seen around the world thanks to the many veteran's who have shared her adorable character, and the laughter she brings, with their comrades in arms.
She has battled alcoholism and has many sober years behind her.
Today she has given her life to Christ, and dedicates her time to performing for Veterans charities, bringing awareness to their causes, all across the USA.
