HOST: EMMA DALENBERG

Emma Dalenberg is a Minnesota-born stand-up comic, writer, and actor. Since getting on stage and performing stand up comedy for the first time at age 19, Emma has developed a style that blends good vibes with controlled chaos—balancing sincerity with subversion, nostalgia with futurism—all delivered through a sweet charm and a genuine desire to connect with audiences of every background.

In 2025, she opened Daniel Sloss’ residency at the Soho Playhouse in NYC, joined Reggie Watts on his Europe tour, debuted the newest version of her solo show, Freak, Pray, Love, in NYC, Berlin, and Istanbul, and made her playwriting and acting debut at the New York Comedy Festival with Woke Woke West: The Musical, which sold out its two-night premiere
