NATASHA PEARL HANSEN and JAKE SNELL - English Stand-up Comedy

NATASHA PEARL HANSEN began her comedy career in 2006 at Second City Chicago. Over the course of a few years she performed, wrote for, and directed dozens of shows. She found her love for stand-up in 2010 and hasn't looked back, performing in countless festivals as well as headlining and featuring all over the country and world, including a recent tour with Armed Forces Entertainment.

Natasha indulges in all aspects of comedy, finally producing and directing her first comedy documentary in late 2015 while doing a comedy tour in the Caribbean. She is an actress and writer for a number of upcoming series, formerly including the show 'Assistants' which she both produced and co-starred in.  She is formerly a regular author and contributor for Men's Health Magazine, incorporating comedic photography with her essays. She was a semi-finalist in NBC's playground pilot writing competition in 2015, which led to two holding deals with the network, and in 2016 she took home The Taste Award for her co-produced comedic editorial work.

​

Much of Natasha's humor both on-stage and in her writing focuses on personal aspects of her life, including her own failures, her family, and her engagement. She is currently shopping a number of tv series with her management team at Black Box Management, and her podcast "Future Role Model" is in it's third year with the Comedy Pop Up Network is available on iTunes, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Google Play , and Spotify. In 2019 she landed a self-produced Las Vegas residency bringing "Future Role Models LIVE" to sin city weekly (yes she flew from LA every week to headline the show!). Future Role Model is based on a series of books she began creating at age 14 and will eventually be a published book series...
