Overview

I'm a stand-up comedian based in Buffalo NY. I've been doing it for 4 years now and I'm capable of doing opener, feature, and headliner sets. I'm a proud black trans woman and I speak my truth on stage, I do not care how you feel about it. If anyone is going to tell jokes about me, it's gonna be me. That being said, I cover a wide variety of topics and I'd describe a lot of my jokes as silly observations, real-life stories, and nonsense I thought of in the shower. I don't do clean shows, I know what this job is. I'm an adult birthday clown, I'm telling a few dirty jokes and saying some swear words. I have a lot of passion for the craft and I hope to make this my career one day!

What to expect

I tell a lot of queer centric comedy and can sometimes tend to be a little vulgar or raunchy. I can read a room know when to pull back, I have plenty of jokes that aren't that way. Those just tend to be some of my favorites. My goal is always to try and get everyone in the room to laugh at least once individually and all together. Not everyone has the same taste in comedy so it's important to be versatile. I don't recommend allowing anyone under the age of 16 to see me perform as a general rule of thumb. I don't like to have to hold back, and I want everyone to enjoy themselves. I cannot promise a fully clean set so do not ask me to do so.

About

I was born in Toronto Ontario up in Canada, and moved to Buffalo NY when I was 7 with my mom and brother and I've been here since. I came out as trans in 2019 and subsequently gained the courage to start stand up comedy that same year. And both of those things were the best decisions of my entire life. I'm extremely passionate about stand up comedy and want to make this my full time career! I've been working hard from the start and I feel like I'm really hitting my stride right now. I get consistently booked at the helium comedy club here in Buffalo. So now I'm looking to get more work outside of that to try and go full time. I'm hoping to be able to get some gigs on here to help with that.

Additional booking notes

A stage is preferred but not necessary. I'm not super picky to be honest, just make sure the sound works before I get there.
