Emily Zawisza
Director of Corporate Sales
Emily attended college at Louisiana State University and obtained her Bachelor's Degree from The University of North Texas. After graduation, she enrolled in the Four Day Weekend Theater’s improv training center and was immediately hooked. This motivated her to move to Chicago to continue her improv comedy education, where she was accepted into and graduated from the world famous Second City Conservatory, as well as the iO Training Center.
While nights were spent performing with various improv troupes, she built a career on the intersection of comedy and business. From her jobs at Groupon, The Onion, The Second City, and Slate Magazine, the common thread has been how humor and intelligent wit can be powerful tools in communication and business. Now working back at Four Day Weekend, where it all started, she can be found collaborating with Fortune 500 companies to create engaging content and train employees with improvisational techniques. Beyond delivering keynotes and acting, you’ll most likely find her instigating vicious pun wars.
