About Elizabeth McQuern
Elizabeth McQuern is a Chicago-based photographer, filmmaker, composer, writer, and comedy producer. For almost eight years she co-produced and managed media for the widely respected weekly stand-up showcase Chicago Underground Comedy, and her short comedy films have been screened at the Just For Laughs Festival, The Second City, the Lincoln Lodge, and elsewhere. She was editor of the well-regarded Chicago comedy blog The Bastion, and is a graduate of the Second City Training Center's writing program.
She likes to write music and annoy her loved ones by constantly taking photos of them. She loves Star Trek (especially TNG and DS9), and has had two cats named for Star Trek characters (Ishka and Sisko). She also loves urban biking, and her husband, Second City comedy instructor Bryan Bowden, with whom she has co-produced countless comedy shows and films. McQuern and Bowden also co-produced Champ Bowden, the cutest little red-haired boy you’ve ever seen in your life.
