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. 

Kristina was in ‘Best of the Fest’ at Burbank Comedy Festival 2022, was a 2021 Semi-Finalist in NYC Queer Comedy Festival (Yaaas Fest!), 2021 Finalist in the Comfy Comedy Clash, and performed in the 2022 Portland Maine Comedy Festival, the 2023 Midwest Queer Comedy and Baton Rouge Improv Festivals, and Stand Up NY's 2024 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 in NYC. She produces and hosts shows in NYC and has played in Florida, California, Ohio, New Jersey, Louisiana and Maine.
