By June of the same year, Rice was able to work almost every night of the month due to the comedy boom that had finally found the PNW. Moving to Los Angeles in 1986 gave Susan her first taste of what show biz had in store for her. She rapidly became a regular at the Icehouse in Pasadena, Igby's, The Comedy Store, The Laugh Stop's and worked for the Improvs. She rapidly moved up the performance ladder and headlined at many of the clubs of the 1990s; Laff Stops, Last Laughs, Stanfords, and the Comedy Connections. Her first TV comedy set was on ABC's George Schlatter’s Comedy Club and followed with his Reunion show. Cable shows included Showtime Comedy on the Road & Showtimes Comedy All-Stars, Comic Stripe Live, and Evening at the Improv as well as the often laughed about " Pat Sajak Show" Upon her return to Portland in 1998 Rice set her goals to be more of a corporate comedian. Her clients have included Microsoft, Intel, Red Hat Society, and many others. In 2015 Susan was surprised to be voted Willamette Weekly's ' Funniest Person in Portland" ballots were cast by her comedy community peers, bookers, and patrons. She has performed numerous times at the highly acclaimed All Jane Comedy Festival as well as the Northwest Women's Festival in Springfield OR.
