AS SEEN ON
Brittany Brave is a NYC-via-Miami based comedian, actress, writer, producer and host. She’s been featured on NBC, MTV, OFTV, The Wendy Williams Show, SiriusXM and more. Brave was selected as a 2024 “Comic To Watch” at the New York Comedy Festival. In 2023 she was named “Best Comedy Act” by TimeOut Miami and the Miami New Times, and in 2019 the TBS Network featured her as “Emerging Talent”.
Her unique brand of equally-animated and cerebral comedy has landed her features in The New York Times, ELLE, Ashton Kutcher’s A-Plus, Entrepreneur Magazine and more. For Brave, what audiences see isn’t always what they get – and that’s just how she likes it. From personal anecdotes about her Italian family, to survival stories from dark relationships, her comedy is a self-proclaimed sermon for the “girls, gays and theys” and IF the straights enjoy it, she declares, “welcome to the TED talk”.
An experienced performer who first took the stage at 3 years old, Brave has studied at the world’s premier comedy schools such as UCB, Second City, iO and The People’s Improv Theater. She also earned a Bachelor of Arts in Theater and Dance Performance from the University of Florida in 2013.
In 2022, Brave starred in “The Disastrous Dating Life of Diane Damone”, an original web series created by Amerikana Media and Joseph Patrick Conroy that chronicles the dating snafus of a neurotic, hopeful, single, Italian girl in NYC. The production debuted on Tubi to rave reviews and the two are currently developing season two of the series.
Brave is an active and open advocate for women’s rights, reproductive freedom and domestic violence. She started the community “Cat Call”, which produces all-female and queer content and events, including “The Bad Bitch Brunch”, a touring variety show that features stand up, drag, music and interactive games in a jam-packed, empowering, sex-positive 90 minutes. Last year, her “Roast of P. Diddy” made national news thanks to a celebrity drop-in from famed hater 50 Cent. The show and efforts raised $8000 for the National Domestic Violence Hotline and garnered the attention of national media, including TMZ.
In 2024, Brave made history as the first local comedian to perform and sell out the Carnival Studio Theater at Miami’s esteemed Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. As the host of the “Big Yikes” podcast she releases weekly episodes. She is also in post-production for a docu special about Miami comedy titled “Muchacha” due out in 2025. She is currently on a national headlining tour titled “I Have A Secret”.
