Stand-up comic Ever Mainard describes a real life event that made her question some of the pressures and fears of being a woman.
Ever Mainard is a stand-up, actor, writer, improviser, all around funny gal.
Ever Mainard lives and works in Los Angeles, but she got her comedic start in Chicago, where she was one of the city’s best stand-ups and a cast member of the esteemed Chicago Underground Comedy. Chicago Magazine credits her with being one of the top 100 comics, Metromix/ Redeye said she’s one of the Top Seven Acts to Watch in 2012, and Gapers Block named her as one of The Most Influential Women in Chicago Comedy.
As seen on CNN, Jezebel and WBEZ, Ever Mainard has appeared in San Francisco Sketchfest (2014), Just For Laughs Festival (2012, 2013), Bridgetown Comedy Festival (2012, Best of Bridgetown, Best of Chicago), Chicago Sketchfest, Chicago Women’s Funny Festival (2012, Headliner), and more. Ever has worked with top comics such as Maria Bamford, Nick Thune, Fortune Feimster, Greg Berhandt, Sonya White, Tig Notaro and Bill Dwyer.
Ever’s spontaneous characters, quick witted anecdotes, and quirky mannerisms will have you laughing well after her performance. Her background in improv gives her the ability to create visceral and border line cathartic moments in her crowd work and off the cuff riffs. She teaches a class “Get Riffed” at Second City Hollywood and hosts her monthly show in Los Angeles called the Shit Show, which headlined the TBS Just for Laughs Festival in 2013.
