Amelia Sawyer is a Chicago-based performer who loves comedy, meditation, and her dogs, Brenda Walsh & Clementine. After a long career in hospitality marketing, she shifted gears into acting and comedy, where she now brings curiosity, heart, and humor to every performance. She's drawn to stories that surprise and connect, whether in sketch, improv, or character work.
