Career

For more than three decades, Essman has been travelling and appearing in clubs around the country. On Location: Women of the Night II, she appeared on HBO with Joy Behar and other rising female comedians in 1988. On January 5, 1989, she appeared on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. On HBO's One Night Standout, her first half-hour special premiered on September 20, 1992. She has appeared in such documentaries as Heroes of Jewish Comedy and A History of Jewish Comedies as a large part of her comedy comes from her ethnicity.

Essman made her U.K. stand-up comedy debut at the Newbury Comedy Festival in July 2007. She appeared on the British television show 8 Out of ten Cats while living in England.

Essman began her acting career with small parts in two 1988 films, Crocodile Dundee II and Punchline, but she is best known for her role as Susie Greene, Jeff Greene's wife, on HBO's comedy series Curb Your Enthusiasm. Essman told The New York Times that by the show's third season, she could not "walk down the street anymore without people yelling her and begging her to say [her character's catchphrase] "You fat fuck." Slate named Essman's character one of the best on television in 2007, citing a reason for the publication's eagerness for the show's return.

Helen Higgins appeared on the Comedy Central show Crank Yankers; she also served as an occasional correspondent on the network's The Daily Show. She appeared on Comedy Central's Roast of Bob Saget on August 17, 2008 (the cat) in the 2008 Disney animated film Bolt, but she later reprised the role in the 2009 short Super Rhino. She appeared on the Regis Philbin version of Million Dollar Password.
