Amanda Averell is the physical embodiment of her hometown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania:

A confluence where midwest sensibilities meet big city sass. Her quick wit, unique perspective & self deprecating sense of humor have made Amanda a rising comic to watch; she is a festival favorite with over 25 comedy festival appearances across the country. In 2025, Amanda made her international debut with stops in London, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam. Amanda is part of the Roast Battle League and has been featured on the RBL Weekly Podcast. 

Outside of stand up comedy she’s also a writer, producer, actor, educator, host, podcaster, coach & improviser.

She has opened for: Todd Barry, Mick Foley, Aparna Nancherla, Bob the Drag Queen, Nic Nemeth (WWE’s Dolph Ziggler), Todd Glass, Jackie Kashian, Emma Willmann, Hannah Berner, Rosebud Baker, Dave Ross, Brandie Posey, Jared Freid, Shane Torres, Sam Tallent & more!
