Mai L.G. is a stand-up comedian from Boca Raton, FL. 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 human trafficking survivor to a former news anchor at the VAN-TV 55.2 Houston, TX (now VIETV 55.6), to taking care of children with autism, Mai surely has many interesting stories to share.
Mai has opened for Jimmy Schubert, Ariel Elias, Jeff Dye, Learnmore Jonasi and other national comedians. Beside private events, charities, and clubs, Mai has performed in many Florida festivals such as Bonita Spring, 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.
An active member of the Boca Raton Junior League, Mai spends Saturday mornings volunteer at local charities.
