About Alexa Albanese (she/her)
Alexa is a Boston based comedian, writer, and producer. Her solo comedy shows have appeared in New England, New York, Washington, D.C., and New Orleans festivals (highlights: Best of Boston Sketch and The People's Improv Theater's Solocom).
She has brought her combination of news desk jokes, storytelling, and character work to local stages like Laugh Boston, The Rockwell, and The Comedy Studio. She has also produced, hosted, and led writers room for several comedy-variety shows featuring Boston's best stand-up comedians, musicians, drag performers, and actors. Because her show's format is inspired by late-night, no audience has ever seen the same show twice.
Her choice to pursue a bachelor's degree in theater arts was only salvaged by double majoring with english: writing, editing & publishing. She also holds a master's degree in journalism from Harvard Extension School, which guarantees she fact checks all her jokes.
By day, she works at the Office for the Arts at Harvard, which includes managing @harvard_arts social media channels and assistant producing large-scale events, including Robert Carlock and Tina Fey in conversation at Sanders Theatre.
Alexa is also an emcee, public speaker, and occasional stand-up comedian. Click the "Media" tab to see her reel and clips from some of her favorite live performances.
