Claire Berger

For over four decades, perhaps longer than many of you have been alive, Claire Berger has been earning a living as a comedian, improv actor and writer. She began her career in Chicago with The Second City and in local comedy clubs. She found big laughs in Los Angeles, earning acclaim as a warm-up comedian on over sixty-five of your favorite sitcoms, including Seinfeld, Murphy Brown and Mad About You. Berger was the first comedian HGTV hired to host a series (Fantasy Open House).

Transitioning from the sitcom soundstages to the corporate boardrooms, Berger helped businesses have fun while getting the job done with her memorable, bespoke events and her book “Funny Works: 52 Ways To Have More Fun at Work, 52 Ways To Have More Fun In Life.”

Berger finds humor in unlikely places, including Italian kitchens where she served as resident writer, ambassador and cookbook contributor for two popular culinary immersion programs, Tuscan Women Cook and Italian Culinary Adventures.

Berger began writing “How Much Is Enough?” her interactive memoir, to give voice to the ever-present conversation we’ve all been having in our heads. How much is enough… Exercise? Religion? Sex? Shoes? Family? Food? Berger tackles an array of topics in twenty-two chapters that can be read in any order.

Berger is excited to join your conversation as you discuss How Much Is Enough? in your book clubs, community centers, Zoom groups and social gatherings.
