Talent Profile
Amanda Cohen
Los Angeles
California
Winner - House of Laughs (Phoenix) WSOC Satellite 2020 Semi-Finalist - LA Comedy Club (Las Vegas) WSOC Satellite 2020 Top 16 Finalist - WSOC's Main Event 2019 She’s your best nightmare: a fearless feminist with a sharp sense of irony who will challenge your assumptions about middle-age women, while still relating to all ages. She’s played bars, bookstores, basements, and barns. She has 16 years in comedy...not in a row. In her previous life she hosted a ton of shows and was just starting to feature when the 90s comedy boom ended, so she took a break from standup to study improv at the Second City Conservatory. She’s now based in LA and on the road as a feature and headliner, playing clubs and events all over the country. In 2018 she was a finalist in the Carson City Clean Comedy Challenge, and last summer she was a semi-finalist in two satellites of the World Series of Comedy (Chicago and Boston). She was also a finalist in the San Diego Comedy competition in 2019. Since March of 2020 she has hosted and performed in countless Zoom shows and was a co-producer of the Burbank Comedy Festival, but she can't wait to get back on the road. Her influences include George Carlin, Albert Brooks, Paula Poundstone, and Dana Gould. Through it all she has managed to be nobody’s mom.
