About Kristina
Kristina grew up as a child of so, so many divorces and sisters in small-town Texas before coming to New York City to become the best redheaded lesbian high school teacher the South Bronx had ever seen.
She’s a wholesome, down-home, comedian coming to stage with the heartfelt, eldest sister/teacher energy that immediately collides with the outrageous delivery of her shameless and unabashed jokes. Her material draws on her outsider experiences as a gay ‘90s kid from an unconventional rural family with a wild coming-of-age story as a NYC transplant.
Credits
Kristina was in ‘Best of the Fest’ at Burbank Comedy Festival '22, was a '21 Semi-Finalist in NYC Queer Comedy Festival (Yaaas Fest!), '21 Finalist in the Comfy Comedy Clash, and performed in the '22 Portland Maine Comedy Festival, the '23 Midwest Queer Comedy and Baton Rouge Improv Festivals, and Stand Up NY's '24 & '25 Knockouts Festival.
Kristina has played The Comic Strip Live, Broadway Comedy Club (NYC), Flappers (LA), and Comedy House New Orleans. She can be seen regularly at The Comedy Shop and all around NYC. She produces and hosts shows in NYC and has played in California, Florida, Louisiana, Maine, Ohio, New Jersey, New York and Texas.
