Maya May is an LA-based stand-up comedian known for her smart, fun, and socially conscious brand of humor, featuring at some of the country’s best independent comedy shows, including Hot Tub with Kristen Schaal and Kurt Braunholer, Women Crush Wednesdays with Marcella Arguello, and Butterboy with Aparna Nancherla, Maeve Higgins, and Jo Firestone. She’s performed at dozens of colleges and has been featured on CNBC, Fox, ABC, and iHeartRadio. Her comedy is just like she is: a healthy balance of optimism and rage, mischievous, and deliciously over-the-top. A high-energy and positive performer, Maya keeps audiences engaged with carefully crafted jokes that layer her life experiences (including 8 years in Argentina) with observations on race, politics, class, and gender. A crowd-favorite at festivals including All Jane and the Asheville Comedy Festival, Maya has performed everywhere from the Laugh Factory Chicago to the Hollywood Improv. But her favorite place to perform is wherever you are. Awwwwww. Unless it’s a 3-hour drive from a major airport. She hates that.
