G L O R I A's Comedian Bio
|
| Bio | Subtle, disarming, and witty- Gloria Bigelow is a refreshing new comedian who doses out humor in bite sized chunks- easy for the listener to swallow, but realness nonetheless. Coming to comedy from a background of acting, she is an excellent observer of life and a natural improviser. An openly gay black woman, "she’s got a bone to pick with everybody!" She does so by wittingly tackling issues from Low Lesbian Esteem to the Iconization of Snoop Dog, all done with a smile. With issues of sexuality, race and gender at the forefront of her work she has become a favorite and a "one to watch" on the New York comedy scene.
Bitten by the comedy bug after moving to New York, Gloria seamlessly slipped into the world of comedy. She is seen at all of the top comedy clubs in New York including, The Improv, New York Comedy Club, The Laugh Factory and Stand-Up New York. Picked up from a performance at the Improv, she was the featured MC of the New York Comedy Expo opening for the finalist of the National Laugh Across America Competition. Gloria has also been seen in Two Dyke Minimum, Gaydar and Homocomicus at Gotham Comedy Club, and was the MC of Siren the 18th annual Ohio Lesbian Festival. She can be scene every week on Dykes of Mics. Gloria’s unique style of charm and pointed intelligence have her poised to take the world of comedy by storm. | | Website | Globigelow.com | | Influences | Whoopi, Karen Williams, Richard Pryor, Rosanne, Joan Rivers, Marga Gomez, My Uncle Ronnie, Zina, Wanda, Paul Mooney, Bill Cosby, Monique, Ellen, Kate Clinton, my mother | | TV Shows | LOGO- New Now Next Awards- Pre- Show Host | | Films | Laughing Matters...
