Take Kendall native Brittany Brave. Like so many of her New York-based comic contemporaries are wishing they could, Brave is currently making a name for herself in the Miami comedy scene.
Since moving back to her parents’ house last fall, Brave has taken South Florida by storm, performing everywhere from Wynwood to Delray Beach. She has her own video web series called
Ladygunn Magazine, runs a virtual improvised tarot-reading event, and this Wednesday, March 10, at Showfields on Lincoln Road, Brave will host the first edition of her new monthly live comedy series, Laughs on Lincoln.
“I am definitely a performer first,” Brave says. “This is what happens when you have no love or sex life, and you’re just passionate about comedy. This is all I do.”
