Comedy Experience
I’ve performed all over New York City, Vermont, New Jersey, and Connecticut in clubs, bars, bookstores, restaurants, hotel lobbies, a temple, and a JCC.
I’ve been invited to perform in 6 comedy festivals based in NYC and Vermont: NYC’s Mob Festival (semi-finalist), NYC’s Laughing Buddha 2x (semi-finalist), NYC’s Ladies of Laughter (runner up), and the Vermont Comedy Festival.
In 2024, I partnered with gut health brand, YayDay, to conduct comedic street interviews in NYC designed to generate conversation online about the importance of digestive health and promote their product line.
In 2023, I auditioned for and was cast as 1 of 2 actors to perform an improvisational digital comedy sketch series produced by SNL writers and crew. The producers showcased the series as part of a live performance in NYC, Boston, Rhode Island and LA and was featured in NYC’s Comedy Festival.
