JULIE POTTER
In the last few years, JULIE POTTER has become a well-known performer in the San
Francisco Bay Area. Showcasing her talents as rapper, improviser, and stand-up
comedian, she has participated in such widely diverse festivals as
Peace Out, San Francisco Improv Festival, and QComedy. Julie has studied
improv with Rachel Miller (Boom Chicago, Amsterdam), Jill Mueller-Eickman (Lila
Theatre, San Francisco), and David Razowsky (Second City, Los Angeles), among
others, and has been an active member of the growing San Francisco improv
community, performing with Lila Theatre, Beatnik Syndicate, and Crisis Hopkins.
Following a stand-up workshop at the Hyena Club in SF, Julie performed her
hilarious sets at such San Francisco venues as Canvas Café, The Chieftain, and 50
Mason, and has also appeared at the Laugh Lounge in New York. As a rapper she
has been deeply dedicated to the art of hip hop her entire life, and the maturity and
expressive power of her first rap album, Exodus, portends a formidable career. She
appeared in 12 cities across the Southwest as part of the Homorevolution Tour
2007, the first ever LGBT rap tour, and has also performed at Long Beach Pride,
the San Diego Dyke March, and San Francisco Pride, where she appeared on the
Main Stage before an audience of thousands. She has received national media
attention from The Advocate and RollingStone.com, plus local coverage from East
Bay Express, SF Weekly, and Out Spoken TV, to name a few. Julie continues to be
connected to the Bay Area as she participates in a three-month artist exchange in Europe, where she is working on a new theatre project sponsored by Back
House Productions, a 501(c)3 based in New York City.
