Mai L.G. is a stand-up comedian from Boca Raton, FL. She’s also a semi-finalist in the 2023 Florida’s Funniest and a three-time winner of the Boca Raton Comedy Festival.
With English as her second language, Mai provides audiences with a fresh perspective on American life. She took a comedy class out of curiosity and went on to win a comedy festival in her very first club performance, never looking back. From Southeast Asia to Southeast Florida, Mai’s unexpected style of comedy will hit you with hurricane force.
Mai’s comedy style is described as self-deprecating and witty, with surprising misdirections, anecdotes, and insights into female experiences. As a first-generation Vietnamese American, her material includes stories about her upbringing in Vietnam, her parents, and Asian stereotypes. From being a news anchor for a Vietnamese TV station in Houston to becoming a stay-at-home mom caring for children with autism and ADHD, and eventually transitioning into comedy, Mai has plenty of stories and jokes to share.
Mai’s side gigs include acting, modeling, and singing with her band at the School of Rock. As a survivor of human trafficking and domestic abuse, she finds peace by spending Saturday mornings volunteering at local charities with the Boca Raton Junior League, supporting causes that promote the welfare of women and children.
Mai has opened for Learnmore Jonasi, Ariel Elias, Jeff Dye, Jimmy Schubert, and other national comedians. Beside private events, charities, and clubs, Mai has performed in many Florida festivals such as New Orleans Night Market, Orlando Comedy Festival (CF), Bonita Spring CF, Fort Meyers CF, Flamingo CF, Brickell CF, Sareth Fest, Ft Lauderdale Family Fest., World Wild Comedy Contest & Award Fest., Palm Beach Urban Stories Fest., #WeAreTheVote Fest., and venues in Texas, Louisiana, Nevada, New York, and Michigan.
