Claire Jolie Goodman, born November 13th, 2002, is completely aware that she has always been and will always be a terrible theatre kid. At six, Claire enrolled in her first class at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre in Arlington Heights, IL. She has continued to study performance since then, and still works closely with Metropolis’ School of the Performing Arts.

In 2019, Claire dropped out of High School in order to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. 2020 brought both a pandemic and incessant internet bullying, however, and she made the decision to shift her focus to comedy writing and performance. Since then, Claire has remained in the Chicago area, studying with Columbia College Chicago, The Second City, and many private instructors.

Post pandemic, Claire is working full time in Arts Education and producing her own works. While she still occasionally takes the stage in local musical theatre productions, Claire pushes her radical leftist feminist agenda mostly through stand-up, comedy writing, and social media.

Claire is currently accepting boyfriend applicants, loves the Barbie Movie, makes really good Risotto Milanese, and gives out a lot of bandaids and ice packs to young performers. She is a college dropout, which is the best decision she has ever made, and hopes to be a mother in the near future, but will never give up her quest for universal freedom of creative expression.
