Kiki (@kikidoescomedy) started her comedy journey (even though she thinks calling it a “journey” sounds pretentious) in San Francisco before and in-between the pandemic. There she took several rewarding turns in the revolving door that is San Francisco Comedy College under the wise and wizened tutelage of Kurtis Matthews, proprietor.
She moved to Portland, OR in 2024 and hit the ground ambling quickly with classes at Curious Comedy, recently studying under the generous and watchful eye of Joe John Sanchez III (@jjs_iii) who, in the same year, was voted one of Willamette Week’s Funniest Five. She went on to study with one of Portlands undeniably funniest people, the affable and laughable Arlo C. Weierhauser.
Kiki has been doing ten million open mics and is fond of hyperbole. She is an ongoing host of the bi-monthly (twice a month) Nu-Glitter Comedy Open Mic, presented by Joyce Nance, at Peacock PDX and at Back2Earth in Portland.
Kiki is in the second half or third third of her life. Although quite demure in her daily life, on stage she enjoys telling raunchy lesbian jokes that she constantly wonders if she’s too old to tell. So far, she hasn’t been canceled or asked to stop (by anyone important).
She’s a generally nice person with an unintentional (and ADHD related) ornery (read: clueless) streak.
If you book her she will be surprised and grateful and will reward you with videos of kittens running on treadmills and giant wheels that you will feel very happy to have seen and that cannot be found on the internet.
