At five feet three inches, Sue Costello may look harmless, but once she opens her mouth, it is obvious that this blonde means business - funny business. Sue has the ability to bring a room full of patrons to tears with her comedic disposition and vivacious wit.

Before that, however, she is booked for four sets of stand-up comedy on June 12 and June 13 at Laugh Boston. Costello spoke to The ARTery by phone from Brooklyn in advance of t
