ABOUT DANA
Dana Friedman is, in all likelihood, New York’s first Orthodox Jewish, transsexual comic. Her performances address a wide variety of topics, including many outside the very unusual norms of standup comedy.
She has appeared with or opened for Janeane Garofalo, Lizz Winstead, Yanis Pappas, and other major headliners at clubs and theaters all over the New York tri-state area, and occasionally beyond, when her parole officer is on vacation.
She hopes to one day headline the not-yet-invented Transapalooza Comedy Festival.
