Emily Walsh is a comedian who performs nightly in bars and comedy clubs across New York City. Originally from Boston, MA, Emily moved to New York City after college to pursue her dream of painting scenery for theatre, film and television. She still paints sometimes because comedy doesn’t provide health insurance.
Emily was recently featured on Kevin Hart’s Lyft Comics on Peacock, and she performs all over New York, including New York Comedy Club, Standup NY, and Westside Comedy Club. Her solo show Dad Girl had a successful month long run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and will be in New York Fringe Festival in 2024.
She headlined a sold out Stand Up NY as part of their Headliner Series. She won 1st place in the Comedy Mob Festival at Stand Up NY in 2018, with 200+ comedian submissions, 2nd place in the She Devil Comedy Festival in 2019 at Broadway Comedy Club, and has been named Comic of the Week on Jackie Kashian and Laurie Kilmartin’s podcast the Jackie and Laurie Show.
Festival credits include HBO’s Women in Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest, Gilda’s Laughfest, Boston Comedy Festival, the Out of Bounds Festival in Austin, and the West End Comedy Festival in Atlanta , Oak City Comedy Festival, Maine Comedy Festival, and the Rogue Island Comedy Festival in Newport, RI.
She cohosts the podcast Alone at Lunch, part of the Morbid podcast network on Wondery, and Yeet the Rich, a podcast about billionaires and how they maybe shouldn’t exist. Her mom is very supportive of her comedy, and really wants her to write a tv show called “Lady Seinfeld.” So look out for that.
