Luz Michelle

Stand-Up Comedian and Story teller in New York

Luz Michelle's upbringing is as eclectic as her comedy style. Part Colombian and part Native-Indian, she was adopted by two Eastern European Jews and raised in Staten Island, also known as "Heroin Island." Luz has translated her unique experiences into a successful career, gracing stages at top venues such as Caroline's and The Stand, and appearing at major festivals like SXSW and the NYC Comedy Festival. She's like a perfectly balanced cocktail followed by a potent edible- strong, yet flavorful - and her audiences can't get enough.

Luz is also a trailblazing producer and host of the acclaimed comedy entertainment company, Hard Headed Comedy™. Known for her unwavering dedication to spotlighting both established and emerging comedic talents, Luz has earned widespread acclaim for her live and streamed showcases. In March 2020, Luz Michelle curated the unforgettable Still Standing Monologues, swiftly becoming a beloved fixture within the LGBTQIA & Women in Comedy community.

In 2021, Luz produced "Queerlarious," a production that has graced Westchester Pride for three consecutive years, further solidifying her reputation for innovative and inclusive standup comedy. Her latest venture, Bluntness Comedy, launched in 2023, this show unites the cannabis and comedy realms for an evening of unparalleled laughter and relaxation.

Through her work, Luz strives to create opportunities for her colleagues to perfect their craft and bring much-needed medicine - in the form of laughter - to audiences worldwide, both live and virtually.

With Luz at the helm, comedy isn't just entertainment; it's a transformative experience."
