Originally hailing from Fargo, North Dakota, Preston earned her Theater Arts degree from the University of Minnesota.
Along with musical theater, short films, and improv classes at UCB, she credits roadwork at VFWs and hole-in-the-wall sports bars for enabling her to connect with any audience regardless of age or sobriety level.
In 2020 Preston released her debut album with Stand Up! Records. Building on her natural instinct for engaging improvisation, Sparkly Parts’ saucy skewering of Midwestern charm belies a knack for wringing deceptively blue material from her Red State upbringing.
From grandmothers to hardcore comedy geeks, Preston makes it her personal mission to leave diverse audiences wanting more. Getting strangers to laugh is one thing. Challenging preconceived notions is even better. But it’s when new fans want to hang out for beers afterward – and bring their friends along to her next show – that Preston knows she’s created a truly memorable comedy experience.
Riley Cosgrove is our feature, "Small town Iowa born queer comic currently living and working in Minneapolis. Runner-up for "Funniest Person With a Day Job" Twin Cities 2018. When not performing around Minnesota, this comic can be seen getting no use out of that communications degree he spent 50K on and disappointing his parents."
