Meet Amy Tee⬇️
More than 20 years ago, Amy signed up for a stand-up comedy class at Northern Essex. Her first time on stage, she says, was the day she knew exactly what she was meant to do with her life. Today she’s a full-time working comic who plays rooms across New England, and this month, she’s back at NECC, teaching the same kind of class that started it all. Full circle! 🔄
Amy has lived in Haverhill her whole life, and she’s also president of the board of directors of the MA National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)— something that she holds very close to her heart. Her comedy is deeply personal. She talks about her mental health and her recovery from substance use, because she’s found that humor can “take the tension off” and teach people through laughter. After nearly every show, someone comes up to share a story about a mother, a brother, or a friend. 💛
Watch the full video to hear Amy talk about:
✨ Balancing heavy subjects with humor, without ever punching down
✨ Watching nervous strangers become a close-knit group
✨ Why she believes “laughter is the shortest distance between two people”
“I’m the expert in my own journey,” she says. That authenticity is what makes her work land, and it’s what she hopes to pass on to her students.
We’re lucky to have instructors like Amy at NECC. Thank you for sharing your story. 🙌
Amy teaches Finding Your Funny: An Intro to Stand-Up Comedy through NECC’s Center for Corporate and Continuing Education (CCCE) starting Oct13. To learn more about CCCE, click here: https://necc.edu/workforce/for-our-community/
