Grace Lusk

Comedian Grace Lusk might be possessed by the spirit of the New Orleans crackhead who made out with her delicate little hand in the French Quarter.

"He told me I reminded him of his dead crackhead wife," Lusk said. "So, yeah, I think I got a little of crackhead spirit from that kiss."

That's just a taste of what life on the road has been like for the South Side funny lady chasing her stand-up comedy dreams.

"My comedy comes from stories," Lusk said. "Growing up in North Beverly with my parents I was basically around a bunch of loud, rowdy people telling stories, and if you wanted to keep up and be heard you had to have something funny to say. I guess I soaked a lot of that in."
