Mai L.G. is a stand-up comedian from Boca Raton, FL, and a mom of four (six if you include her husband and her German Shepherd Dog). She’s also a semi-finalist in the 2023 Florida’s Funniest and a three-time winner of the Boca Raton Comedy Festival.
With English as her second language, Mai provides audiences with a fresh perspective on American life. She took a comedy class out of curiosity and went on to win a comedy festival in her very first club performance, never looking back. From Southeast Asia to Southeast Florida, Mai’s unexpected style of comedy will hit you with hurricane force.
Mai’s comedy style is described as self-deprecating and witty, with surprising misdirections, anecdotes, and female experiences. As a first-generation Vietnamese American, her material includes her upbringing in Vietnam, her family, parenting, Asian stereotypes, etc. From being a human trafficking survivor to a former news anchor at the VAN-TV 55.2 Houston, TX (now VIETV 55.6), to giving birth on I-95, to taking care of children with autism, ADHD and bipolar disorder, Mai surely has many interesting stories to share.
Mai has opened for Jimmy Schubert, Ariel Elias, Jeff Dye, Daniel Franzese and other national comedians. Beside private events, charities, and clubs, Mai has performed in many Florida festivals such as New Orleans Night Market, Orlando Comedy Festival (CF), Cape Coral CF, Fort Meyers CF, Flamingo CF, Brickell CF, Sareth Fest, Ft Lauderdale Family Fest., World Wild Comedy Contest & Award Fest., Palm Beach Urban Stories Fest., #WeAreTheVote Fest., and venues in Texas and Louisiana.
When not on stage, Mai’s family travels and explores often. Her husband works from home so you’ll often see him waiting in the RV. Contact your local club to request her and she’ll put it on a tour. An active member of the Boca Raton Junior League, Mai spends Saturday mornings volunteer at local charities. She’s also forming her own charity to fund scholarships for women to learn stand up comedy to reduce stress crediting gratitude and a sense of humor has helped her endure the most difficult times of her life. With much encouragement from peers, Mai’s just stepped into acting field. For the first time, she learns never say never.
