HELEN SCHNEIDERMAN (OPENING)

Helen Schneiderman got into stand-up comedy a few years ago as a way to get off her couch. Now she's so busy performing, her couch misses her. Helen's comedy draws from her varied life experiences and trips around the globe. She's not afraid to share the good, the bad and the ugly, and audiences love her sincere and relatable style.

Helen has performed all across the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. She was the runner-up in the 2019 BC Funniest New Female Comic contest, and was the opening comic for the 2020 "I Am Woman Hear Me Laff" tour and the 2022 Chutzpah Festival. Helen's favourite review: "I really liked the one with the weird accent."
