Tamale Sepp is a stand up comedian and interdisciplinary performer with a wide range of interests and adventures. A full time van-lifer, Tamale spends most of her time on the road with her four spaniels and her motorcycle in tow.
Tamale was featured in the award winning documentary “Women in the Front Seat” in which director, producer and Emmy nominated cinematographer Maninder “Indy” Saini embarked on a solo motorcycle journey across the United States to connect with women motorcyclists along the way. This feature documentary captures the growing movement of women hitting the throttle and riding into the wind, breaking social norms and shattering stereotypes about women and women riders.
Tamale has been riding motorcycles since 2009 and is the founder of the Chicago based group Bikes and Mics, a community created to foster a welcoming environment for riders of all genders, ethnicities, and experience levels.
In addition to comedy and motorcylce riding, Tamale also loves to shoot guns, skydive, and fire dance. She often incorporates her diverse experiences and adventures into her comedy.
A featured motorcyclist in the newly released, award winning documentary, “Women in the Front Seat”, Tamale has launched her LIFE BEHIND BARS comedy tour! Voted one of Chicago’s “Best Stand Up Comics” by The Reader (second to Hannibal Buress) and a performer and instructor for The Second City since 2004, she pulls from her adventures to playfully engage audiences at festivals (Gilda’s Laugh Fest, Second City’s ScruggsFest, Cleveland Comedy Festival), clubs (Zanies, Laugh Factory, Gotham, Laughing Skull), and super sketchy Waffle House parking lots across the country (all of them). As she travels, she also teaches and produces shows as the Managing Director of Brass Chuckles Comedy- comedy that kicks brass! A full-time road comic living that sweet, sweet van life, Tamale is diligently fine tuning her first album while she skydives (Sisters in Skydiving Coach, Send Newbs Mentorship Program), rides motorcycles (Bikes and Mics, Babes Ride Out), and travels the country with her Spider Spaniel Coven.
