DesignerAbout Britt
Britt Meyer (they/them) is a FORCE. With five years in the Chicago comedy scene, they’ve become a powerful voice for the LGBTQAI+ community. Their work features biting wit and a true underlying sweetness that pulls you in and draws the laughter out. It’s truly a case study in how to perfectly punch up. If you don’t relate to them, you’re dead inside.
Britt has established their niche in the comedy community as a performer and a producer who shines a light on voices that need elevating. Their body-positive showcase Strip Joker is a must-see if you can snag tickets. Strip Joker partners with “You are Beautiful” to showcase diverse voices, comedic styles, and bodies in various states of undress. The resulting blend is delicious like a hot-fudge sundae, and the show has been featured in the Memphis Comedy Festival, Burning Bridges Comedy Festival, Midwest Queer Comedy Fest, Cream City Comedy Festival, Chicago Women’s Funny Festival, and Lady Laughs Comedy Festival.
When they’re not producing their own shows, they’re performing all over the city at venues and shows like Laugh Factory, Zanies, Chicago Underground Comedy, We Still Like You, Funny Grabs Back, and HER, a fundraiser for the Human Rights Campaign. They’ve also traveled with their jokes to cities far and wide, including Austin, NYC, Portland, Denver, Detroit, and Tallahassee.
In addition to telling jokes into a microphone, Britt also contributes their comedic writing skills to Cards Against Humanity, and to the many Diversity & Inclusion initiatives for their workplace to create a more informed and kind environment with comedy. Read about them in Ad Age, and see their panel on Gendered Comedy in Adland from the 3% Conference here!
As if this schedule wasn’t packed enough, they’re also part of the Chicago League of Lady Wrestlers as “Stone Cold Jane Austen.” The wrath from Bath shows no mercy as she fiercely dominates arm wrestling matches like they’re Mr. Darcy. CLLAW partners with Side Show Theater to put on three annual shows, with profits going to the arts. The Jane of Pain is a crowd favorite who shows no prejudice in stripping opponents of their pride.
Britt’s creativity extends beyond the stage. Click here to see Britt's portfolio of design work, which has featured on Apartment Therapy.
