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 among many others.
***
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 insights into female experiences. As a first-generation Vietnamese American, her material includes stories about her upbringing in Vietnam, her parents, and Asian stereotypes. From being a news anchor for a Vietnamese TV station in Houston to becoming a stay-at-home mom to homeschool children with autism and ADHD, and eventually transitioning into comedy, Mai has plenty of funny stories to share.
Mai’s side gigs include acting, modeling, and singing with her band at the School of Rock. As a VAWA survivor, she finds peace by spending Saturday mornings volunteering at local charities with the Junior League of Boca Raton, supporting causes that promote the welfare of women and children.
Mai has opened for Kevin Farley, Learnmore Jonasi, James Davis, Ariel Elias, Jeff Dye among other national headliners.
