Headliner Saturday’s show is Chrissie Mayr. A New York native, Mayr grew up in Rockville Centre, Long Island and was voted “Most Spirited” of her high school class at Southside; which was also the alma mater of fellow comedians Amy Schumer, Dave Attell and Colin Kane.

Her love for comedy began with a college internship at Late Night with Conan O’Brien. After graduating college she completed improv Ph.D programs at the Upright Citizens Brigade and Magnet Theaters. She wrote, produced and performed in her One-Woman show, Hope which enjoyed a 9-week run at the Magnet Theater.

She quickly realized she loved the spotlight and put her new skills toward performing stand-up comedy. Her first show was at Comix in downtown NYC in 2010. She began performing tirelessly after that, grabbing up every opportunity made available to her. Within her first couple years she was selected to perform in the Women in Comedy, Laughing Skull, and Cape Fear comedy festivals.
