About

My comedy is autobiographical, largely shaped by finding my power and sense of humor in disempowering or disappointing situations. I’d describe my act as a blend of stories and observations with quick-witted asides, delivered with a personality that manages to be both deadpan and warm. I enjoy joking about my everyday: sex mishaps, being a lady who lifts, tattoo regret, and trying my best to be a good rat mom.

I perform nightly all over the Bay Area and run several popular shows, including Bring Your Own Dog Comedy, Wooden Comedy: Alt Comedy in a Coffeeshop/VHS Store, and Hot Take Comedy (fundraiser shows that have raised $20K for the ACLU since 2016). I’ve performed at the SF Punch Line with The Charm Offensive, Cobb’s Comedy Club, The NY Comic Strip, and Lady Laughs Festival in Madison, WI. I spoke at South by Southwest 2019 to a 600-strong crowd on a panel I co-created: How Standup Comedy Can Make You a Better Marketer. I’m also an active producer and performer in the Bay Area improv and storytelling scene.
