Lisa Gilbert

San Diego based Comedian Lisa Gilbert's observational comedy is relatable, witty, and cleaver enough for the entire family to enjoy. Becoming a wife and mother late in life, makes her comedy inspirational and an instant crowd-favorite; and also a bit crazy. She is a fun storyteller with jokes about being a wife and mother, and growing up biracial. She is recognized as one of the "Best Of'' at The Comedy Store, and has a Dry Bar Comedy Special, All the Time Tired. She has been featured in The Ladies Room Comedy Festival, the Cactus Comedy Classic, World Series of Comedy, Big Pine and the Black Women in Comedy Festival. She was also a runner-up in the Funniest Housewives Comedy Competition and The Clean comedy Challenge, and recently was picked to audition for Kenan Thompson Live. In addition, Lisa has tried her hand in acting and has been in two Indie films winning Best New Actress in the Palm Springs Coachella Valley Indie Film Awards.
