Shawna came to the stage with over a decade of experience as a humor writer, cartoonist, and essayist, and hit the ground running as a semi-finalist in the 2016 and 2017 Charleston Stand-up Comedy Competitions. From there she went on to feature with Rob Haze (Comedy Central, Last Comic Standing), appear on the Girly Bits Podcast with guest Mia Jackson (TLC, Last Comic Standing), and host two regular shows in Charleston, The Tight Five Open Mic and Frothy Beard Comedy Night. Her material ranges from confessional to broad, including topics like gender and sexuality, Venn diagrams, dumb hats, and the recipe for her signature cocktail, The Dirtiest Martini. She also produces the Charleston Comedy Mixtape and other multimedia projects as part of Comedy Cabal, a series of joint ventures with gentleman and scholar Joseph Coker.
