“Great ideas, great writing and intensely personal characters... A stand-out of the 2009 theatre season.” -- The Montreal Mirror
“Hilarious! …Moments of absurd joy!” –Toronto Eye
“Jeremy is a gifted comedian. She packs a lot of story, a barrage of laugh lines,
and a lineup of wacky characters into her shows. Brazil Nuts is no exception” -- The Gazette (Montreal)
Susan Jeremy plays all the parts, including cats, dogs, birds, and a vacuum cleaner in her newest tour de force, Brazil Nuts, a hilarious tale of love, marriage and soccer. Fearing deportation from the USA, Fabiana, a Brazilian lesbian and soccer fanatic, marries Ron, a cowboy stripping wanna be porn publisher. Jackie, her girlfriend, activist and dog-walker for the rain forest, goes along with it, but before you can say, “Go-oo-ooo-aa-aaa-lll!!!!” all three are drop kicked into the Bermuda Triangle of U.S. Immigration.
Susan Jeremy, a solo performance artist, is known for her lighting quick characterizations and comic chops.
“She is breathtakingly impressive.”-- The Scotsman (Edinburgh)
“Effervescent!…an endlessly inventive shape-shifter!” -The Village Voice
“Bravura command of gestures and speech!” -The Boston Globe

Susan Jeremy hits the Winnipeg Fringe for an encore performance of her hit show, P.S.69
“Flawless and funny from beginning to end!” -- The Montreal Mirror
“Full of humor and insight! …doesn’t disappoint for a moment!” –Talkin’Broadway.com
“Accept no substitutes! Jeremy’s the real deal!” –Winnipeg Free Press
Susan Jeremy plays an entire New York City school – frazzled teachers, pushy parents, and hip hop kids in this hilarious and fast-paced tale of a substitute teacher who finds herself and love at Public School 69 in Brooklyn. P.S.69 won the Best of Venue Award at the Winnipeg, Toronto, and Montreal Fringes, and was a smash hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Based on Jeremy’s real-life experiences as a teacher in New York City public schools, P.S. 69 has played to sold-out houses across the United States, Canada and the British Isles. Susan Jeremy, a solo performance artist, is known for her lighting quick characterizations and comic chops.

“A performer you should see!” - CBC “Brilliant!...Fantastically talented!” – Montreal.com
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY ABOUT SUSAN JEREMY
“Jeremy's brilliant, protean acting style drives a script that is not only funny, but also a poignant look at the class system in American culture. One of the most talked-about entries in this year's Fringe, this play answers the high expectations with unforgettable characters, spot-on direction and a sensitivity that grows more acute with each roaring laugh.”
-Montreal Hour
“Brilliant! …The fantastically talented Jeremy dissolves into the characters she creates while the story, penned by Jeremy and Fulham, moves us effortlessly along.”
- Montreal.com
“Jeremy is a sharp-as-nails comedic actress whose characters live and breathe before you, but she can also serve up keen social commentary.”
Uptown Magazine – Winnipeg’s Online Source for Arts
“ A wonderful storyteller with a flair for accents and impressions, the New York girl paints an incredible picture of her often hilarious family life and her trip down the road to obscurity…a must-see!”
- Uptown Magazine – Winnipeg’s Online Source for Arts
“She's a performer you should see… The writing itself (with co-writer and director Mary Fulham) is sharp. As a performer, Jeremy has a dry comic sensibility and an almost childlike charm in the way she tells a story.
- CBC
