"I know I look very young, but it does have its advantages, like whenever I go to Denny's, I get crayons."
Christina the Comedian
For
your night out, when you leave the kids at home and come out to relax, suddenly
Christina Irene shows up, and there’s a kid onstage!
Don’t let her looks fool you.
Christina is a grown-up woman who’s had some grown-up experiences, from
coming to terms with her fear of Santa Claus to getting a divorce before she
could legally drink (not that she didn’t deserve a drink).
She comes to have some fun, and with her wordplay, wit, and
originality, you’re guaranteed to have lots of fun as well!
Christina's desire to write began at age seven, and from there she has pursued it through college with a degree in creative writing. Her exposure to the comedy industry began with her former marriage to an entertainer and using her writing skills to help him with his act. This interaction led to desires to get onstage and perform her own material. Over the last several years, Christina has fallen in love with the stage, and has discovered that making people laugh is her true passion.
Christina has opened for Blake Clark and Nick DiPaolo; she's opened for guys who have opened for Pauly Shore and Chris Rock; she's shaken hands with Lewis Black; she's spoken on the phone to Colin Quinn; she's watched Jay Leno, David Letterman, and Conan O'Brien on TV; and she wants to marry Steve Martin.
Special Credits: **Grand prize winner of the 2004 Funniest Person in Akron Comedy Competition; **Published alongside the best female comedians of the last 50 years in the joke book, She's So Funny and also published in Love's Funny That Way. **Featured in For Me Magazine, a new magazine from Women's Day.
"I'm 26 and I'm divorced already. I realized I should stop making the important decisions with my Magic 8 Ball."

"I graduated college with a degree in creative writing, which means no, I do not have a fallback. I moved in with my parents so I could pursue my stand-up comedy career. My mom's 49 and she wants another kid. Can you blame her?"
