Susan Ecker is the number one part of a dynamic duo that is an expert on the great comedienne Sophie Tucker (1884-1966) known as “The Last of the Red Hot Mamas”. After doing a show while in college with a ‘new singer’ named Bette Midler and being introduced to her “Soph Jokes” she became lifelong Sophie Tucker and Bette Midler fans. Currently working on a book and a documentary about Sophie Tucker’s life Susan has become one of the foremost authorities on Sophie Tucker’s Life (her husband being the other authority). Sophie Tucker was bigger than life; and Susan knows all the great stories. This is going to be a hoot of a show and one you will want to tell your friends about.
