Originally from Bentonville, Arkansas, Sydney relocated to Chicago at the age of 16 to pursue a career in comedy, where she began studying at The Second City Training Center.
After turning 21, Sydney began as an intern for Chicago Underground Comedy, where she eventually became a producer and programming director, later retiring from the show after four years at the age of 25.
In addition to performing standup, she also recently joined the teaching faculty at The Second City Training Center, where she teaches stand-up comedy.
Previous places she has performed include (but are not limited to):
Dangerfield's Comedy Club (NYC), The Second City, Zanies Comedy Club, The House of Blues Chicago, ComedySportz theater, The Apollo Theater Chicago, Chicago Underground Comedy, The Playground Theater, Arts Center of the Ozarks, Stage 773, and Skype (true story).
Her many talents and interests include:
Being forcibly removed from a major network television studio in 2012, having her writing repeatedly refused by The Boston Review, being rejected from graduate programs, and getting laid-off from law firms.
A former nationally-ranked IPDA professional speaker and debater, Sydney also holds state championship titles in Humorous Interpretation (HI/DI), Solo, and Storytelling. She has a bachelor's degree in English (creative writing), and a minor in speech from the University of Arkansas Monticello. Sydney is a graduate of The Second City Training Center's A-E improvisation program. She frequently tours University campuses across the United States, speaking to incoming freshman, and making presentations to college trustees. She can also bake a mean blueberry crumble.

"I have read your blog and the thing I love is that its fresh and original. You relate well to the audience but put a spin on it that no one else can top. I love [that] the endings stay consistent with "because... that's just how [it is]"- Gamboner |
"I love reading How It Is. It always makes me laugh or think. It's always funny but it's even funnier when I've been drinking. Yes, I spend my Friday nights home alone with a bottle of wine and blogs. That is my exciting life."- @StaplesAreFun |
