Emily Holden

Atlanta-based stand-up comedian, host and entertainer who started stand-up at 42 after decades of improv (founder of Atlanta's Village Theatre). Her site says her comedy 'focuses on dark scary topics, such as marriage and motherhood, that will make young audiences stop for a vasectomy on the way home.' Tours nationally with Moms Unhinged; weekend regular at Laughing Skull and Alley Stage; hosts and features at Punchline and Helium in Atlanta; produces the monthly Banjo Lounge show in Avondale Estates.
