Cristina Mariani: Bend Comedy Festival

A rising star in the stand-up scene, Cristina has mastered the art of “the modern struggle,” turning the anxieties of her generation into a shared experience of laughter and liberation. With a comedic voice that feels like a late-night conversation with your funniest friend, she navigates the complexities of cultural identity, family dynamics, and the absurdity of adulting. In an era of curated perfection, Cristina stands out by embracing the messy, the awkward, and the hilariously honest. Cristina Mariani is currently performing and selling out nationwide as well as at her home club of Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas. She made her breakout comedy debut on episode 517 of KILL TONY and completely took off ever since, garnering millions of views with her standup videos. Cristina has toured with Theo Von and opened for many other renowned comedians, such as Tom Segura, Christina Pazsitzky, Harland Williams, Ari Shaffir, Pauly Shore, and even Grammy-nominated rapper Freddie Gibbs. She has appeared on WHISKEY GINGER with Andrew Santino, TIGERBELLY with Bobby Lee, and TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF with Rick Glassman. INCLUDED WITH A BEND COMEDY FESTIVAL PASS
