ROCHELLE — Tim Clue is an Rochelle Township High School alumnus, American writer, director and professional corporate comedian based in Chicago. He has been performing stand-up comedy for 20 years. Clue’s act and strong characters have enabled him to open for superstars like Jerry Seinfeld and Steven Wright. He’s a recurring guest on WGN radio.
Trained at The Second City in Chicago the improvisation skills he gained there, along with his ability to customize material, help solidify his career as a corporate entertainer. He co-founded Chicago Sitcom which develops works for stage, film and television. His comedy “Leaving Iowa,” was produced at actor Jeff Daniels’ Purple Rose Theatre Company. It earned critical acclaim in Chicago, has been published and is performed all over the country.
Clue’s chosen profession came as no surprise to the Rochelle Elementary School teachers on whom he tested his earliest material. Speaking at the RTHS Teacher Institute Friday, Clue shared a hilarious story about his fifth grade teacher which had the staff laughing, applauding and nodding in deference to her.
During the course of his remarks, Clue identified every teacher’s superpower, challenging them to unleash it over the course of the spring semester.
