Entertainment

  • Lian Price

    Comedian & Registered Nurse

    Lian Price, a proud product of Cleveland, OH, somehow managed to graduate from Howard University with a degree in Nursing. (Don't ask how she balanced studying with her insatiable need to entertain.) From elementary school to high school, Lian was the undisputed Queen of Class Clownery. Now, she spends her nights Nursing (the patients, not the wounds...mostly) and finding creative ways to inject humor into even the most sterile of nursing home environments. A doting grandma to two amazing granddaughters, Lian has traded the snow of Cleveland for the sunshine of St. Augustine, where she continues to spread laughter (and maybe a few contagious giggles) wherever she goes.
