Support act: Diva Edell – is the out‑loud voice everyone wishes they had — the friend who says the thing you were thinking, but with better timing and way more confidence. Relatable, charming, and gloriously filter‑free, she turns her chaotic life into the kind of comedy that makes audiences laugh, gasp, and whisper “oh my god, same.”
Born from the ashes of a domestic abusive marriage, Diva didn’t just rebuild her life — she weaponized it. She took the sad, the wild, and the downright unbelievable and turned it into punchlines. Her stories aren’t just relatable; they’re the kind of “you can’t make this stuff up” moments that demand a microphone.
Since exploding onto the scene in 2022, Diva has been tearing through the Western United States, hitting stages from Helium Comedy Club in Portland to Oklahoma Bricktown, Tacoma Comedy Club, Flappers, and comedy rooms all over Arizona and Southern California. She’s also hosted and produced shows at Sage and Sand Lounge, Crazy Earl’s, and The Fun Factory.
Whether she’s calling out life’s nonsense or breaking down her own beautifully messy adventures, Diva delivers comedy that’s raw, real, and impossible not to connect with.
