Maggie Faris July 30, 2010

Maggie Faris began performing comedy in 1999 in her hometown of St. Paul, Minnesota. Almost instantly she was noted for her ceaselessly cheerful personality and seemingly endless series of quirky, intelligent jokes dissecting our fears and social barriers. A favorite at clubs, Maggie received callbacks two years in a row to appear on “NBC’s Last Comic Standing.” She now regularly plays benefit shows such as her recent headlining appearance at Rainbow Mountain Resort and has had her off-stage comedy featured on Fox-TV, CNN, and FM107. In 2008, she was named one of the “Funniest Lesbians in America” by Curve Magazine. In 2009, she won both the “Silver Nail” award and “Funniest Clip of the Year” at the prestigious Aspen Comedy Festival. You’ve also seen her on ESPN’s “Cold Pizza.”
With lighthearted material that forces the audience to laugh at their insecurities and prejudices, Maggie Faris has become a favorite for a diverse audience of fans. Whether you’re black or white, gay or straight, Maggie shows that we are all equally goofy human beings.
