Burrell was said to be in great spirits the night before she was found dead in her seventh floor penthouse in Brooklyn.
The TV chef famous for her spiky platinum hair was trying her hand at something she'd never done: improv comedy.
"I know I have been kind of quiet of late, but I am taking improv for actors at Second City, NYC."
"Can I just say, it is so much fun and I'm learning so, so much."
Burrell performed with her improv class Monday night.
Just hours after the show, paramedics were called here to Burrell's Brooklyn home at 7:50 in the morning.
