Emma Dalenberg is a NYC-based, 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. They perform regularly at internationally recognized clubs including The Stand NYC, Laugh Factory Chicago, Acme Comedy Club in Minneapolis, and The Wall in Berlin. Their viral stand-up and sketch clips have earned them a devoted Instagram following of over 75k, helping them emerge as a distinct voice with global reach. In 2024, Emma was featured on the LMAOF TV Comedian Highlight Series, won Best of Fest at the Portland Comedy Festival, and completed their first work-in-progress solo tour across 14 cities in Europe and the USA. In 2025, they opened Daniel Sloss’ residency at the Soho Playhouse in NYC, debuted the newest version of their solo show, Freak, Pray, Love, in NYC, Berlin, and Istanbul, was featured on the Reductress Live Show, receiving the most clip interactions of any of their past performers, and made their playwriting and acting debut at the New York Comedy Festival with Woke Woke West: The Musical, which sold out its two-night premiere.
