Amy Annette

In festival rooms and club weekends, she occupies an enviable niche: the performer other comics trust to host or hold a late-night bill together. Her solo hours, like Busy Body, treat modern vanity and social embarrassment with breezy charm. She will talk about teenage magazine quizzes, injectable weight-loss drugs, or the bizarre horror of being labeled an old soul as a child, stripping the shame from topics that usually get heavy.

The construction rarely announces itself. The material rolls out like casual talk, only to land on sharp, specific tags every few sentences. When a bit runs thin, her instinct is to lean into pure silliness or break into a burst of song rather than push for a darker punchline. She protects the celebratory mood at all costs.

That stage command comes partly from having seen the industry inside out. Annette spent years as a comedy producer and script editor before launching her own solo shows, alongside hosting the podcast What Women Want. By the time she stepped under the spotlight herself, she already knew exactly how to keep a room in hand.
