Hope D.

Hope D. Is a phoenix originally from the ashes of Long Island, NY currently living her suburban dream right outside of Philadelphia. Hope ditched higher education and the non-profit sector career for a different kind of non-profit career: Stand-up comedy! Studying with a number of different schools, like UCB, and even obtaining a masters degree in Organizational Leadership (WHY THOUGH?!), Hope went from mics to shows quickly. Hope was selected for the Diversity Showcase in the NY Underground Comedy Festival in 2020 #ShesGay. She’s also performed on Sultry Sundays with Wink & Smile Productions and Must Love Dogs & Comedy. Hope co-founded The LaughtHER Collective in 2021 with Christi Chiello, an educational organization dedicated to amplifying womxn+ & diversity using the tools of comedy.
