Amy Anderson

Don’t let the name fool you! Amy Anderson has been described as “a skinny Margaret Cho” and “a heterosexual, Asian Ellen”. Amy would describe herself as “a funny American girl who happened to be born in Korea and adopted by Swedish parents in suburban Minnesota”. Amy is a one-of-a-kind on the comedy scene and her act will remind you to never judge a book by it’s cover. Amy says, “I’m never what people expect. The fact that I’m an Asian American female and I ride a motorcycle, have a white family and have never given a manicure… well, that just blows peoples’ minds. Being a comedian is the cherry on the sundae.”

Amy made her national television debut in 2003 on National Lampoon’s Funny Money on the Game Show Network and since then has appeared on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, SiTV’s Latino Laugh Festival and VH1’s A2Z and is also a regular guest on the nationally syndicated All Comedy Radio network. Amy’s is currently producing an all-female comedy tour called The Broad Coalition and pitching a sitcom that is loosely based on her life story. Whether on television, radio, comedy club or right on your own campus, you’ll definitely be hearing more from Amy Anderson.
