Comedy Meets Connection
I use comedy to help people talk like they mean it, connect like they feel it, and trust their own voice — onstage and off.
My work focuses on presence — staying in your body, regulating your nervous system, and not leaving yourself when the room goes quiet.
Because the goal isn’t to perform at an audience. It’s to be in relationship with them.
With 20+ years in stand-up comedy, I perform on national stages, write for some of the biggest comedians working today, and speak about what it takes to stay when all eyes are on you. I work with comedians, artists, and professionals who want a stronger presence and a voice they can trust — anywhere they’re being seen.
Sunday July 12th, 6pm Joe’s Pub, New York City
What shapes us? What breaks us? And how do we turn it into something worth laughing about?
Christi Somers, praised by The New York Times as “very funny” and named a “must-see” by Time Out New York, returns to Joe’s Pub with a new hour of comedy. She dives into the chaos of childhood, the heartbreak of loss, the contradictions of faith, and the ridiculous beauty of simply surviving. With a mix of sharp writing, theatrical turns, and a kind of honesty that doesn’t stay tidy, her work sits somewhere between stand-up and something more immediate.
