BOOK
Kristina grew up as a child of so, so many divorces and sisters in small-town Texas before coming to New York City to become the best redheaded lesbian high school teacher the South Bronx had ever seen. Her comedy is the result of a life bifurcated by the cultural and political extremes of small town rural America and NYC’s LGTBQ+ community. She’s a wholesome, down-home, storyteller coming to stage with the heartfelt, eldest sister/teacher energy that immediately collides with the outrageous delivery of her shameless and unabashed jokes. Her material draws on her outsider experiences as a gay ‘90s kid from an unconventional rural family with a wild coming-of-age story as a NYC transplant. WEBSITE | |
