Some comics lure you in with silence. Emma Willmann grabs you by the collar and drags you along for the ride.
Emma is one of the most energetic acts in the New York scene. She’s frantic, she’s dyslexic, she’s gay, she’s from Maine—and she weaves it all into a tapestry (okay, I said I wouldn’t use that word, let’s say “tornado”) of hilarity.
The “Small Town” Perspective
Emma’s superpower is her background. Growing up in a tiny town gives her a unique perspective on the madness of NYC. She bridges the gap between rural sensibilities and urban chaos.
Why She Works Everywhere
Emma kills on Colbert. She kills on Netflix. But she kills hardest at the Cellar.
Why? Because she commits. There is no half-measure with Emma. She leaves it all on the stage every single night.
If you’re feeling sluggish this January, put on an Emma Willmann set. It’s better than coffee.
