About

Essence (she/her) is a fast-rising comedian whose blend of wit, charm, and real-life storytelling makes her a crowd favorite wherever she performs. From comedy clubs like Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club in Las Vegas and The Comedy Store in La Jolla, to up-and-coming spots like Wiseguys and Mic Drop San Diego, Essence has built a reputation for being both hilarious and highly relatable.

Before comedy, Essence spent years in corporate America, leading in tech and sales. That business-savvy background makes her uniquely equipped to entertain everything from comedy-savvy club audiences to buttoned-up corporate events. Her style is clean(ish), clever, and full of unexpected punchlines drawn from her real life as a single mom, multiracial woman, and former overachiever who finally snapped—in the funniest way possible.

Whether she’s navigating awkward office dynamics or oversharing about her dating life, Essence brings humor and heart to every performance.
