Christina Catherine Martinez
Christina Catherine Martinez spews dark truths with effervescent vulnerability. Her live act has been described as "conceptually highbrow and physically slapstick" and "a great bridge between many different disciplines, including performance art, stand up, and clowning." She's been named a Comic to Watch by TimeOutLA and a Comedian You Should Know by Vulture / New York Magazine. Her cultural criticism appears in outlets such Bookforum and The Los Angeles Times, as well as a collection of essays titled Aesthetical Relations, after her live talk show. She's a writer for The Eric Andre Show, as well as the forthcoming animated series Women Wearing Shoulder Pads on Adult Swim. Her experimental half-hour special “How to Bake a Cake in the Digital Age” will be available on demand this spring.
