Holocaust survivor, 90, makes stand-up debut at Tempe Improv - East Valley Tribune: East Valley Local News: "When 90-year-old Gert Schuster walked into Tony Vicich’s office at the Tempe Improv about a month ago, Vicich thought she was going to maybe request a comedian for a charity event at a senior center or tickets for an upcoming show.
But that was not the case.
On Thursday, Schuster, a Holocaust survivor who came to the United States from Vienna, Austria, in 1939, is going to be part of the show.
Beginning at 7:30 p.m., the Scottsdale woman will be the third stand-up comedian to appear as part of “Tony Vicich’s 10 for 10” at the Tempe Improv, 930 E. University Drive. The show consists of 10 of the top comedians throughout the Valley that patrons can see for $10."
