About Suz…

Suzannah Butcher is a British writer, performer and food creator currently based between the UK and Los Angeles.

She was a former Food Editor for Good Housekeeping UK and recipe columnist for a national newspaper (The Daily Mail, please don’t judge it was only recipes). These days, she combines food, comedy and storytelling across live performance, social media and video — often with a healthy dose of chaos and self-deprecation.

She trained in improv, sketch writing, and storytelling at The Groundlings School, in Clown at The Clown School, LA and at The Free Association, London. She has performed real-life storytelling at RISK! Live, at the Lyric Hyperion Theatre and The Backyard Comedy Series, LA.

Her solo show A Mumoir — a joyful, filthy, tender exploration of motherhood, identity loss and self-acceptance — enjoyed a sell-out run at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, receiving a StageCrafts Select Award nomination as one of the highest-earning shows across Los Angeles StageCrafts theatre venues, alongside an invitation for an encore run.

Online, Suzannah has grown a following at @suzandfood, where she blends character comedy, storytelling and cookery — earning comparisons to “a millennial Mary Berry” (by her mum).

Alongside her media work, Suzannah trained at Leiths School of Food & Wine in London. She co-founded Crumpet, an LA-based British catering company specialising in afternoon tea and grazing spreads. Highlights include crafting afternoon tea for Prince Harry and James Corden atop a double-decker bus in LA, serving tea to Dame Julie Andrews and styling a British-themed shoot featuring Harry Styles and Michelle Obama.

All of Suzannah’s work — whether on stage, on screen or in the kitchen — is driven by the same belief: more joy is always a good idea.
