Stand-UP Comedy for Education benefiting Pinay Aspirations - Comic profile

Candy Churilla

Candy Churilla grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where she learned to drink. As a little girl, she dreamed of escaping Scranton to make a better life for herself and she finally has--in Oakland, of all places, where she hosts the monthly Backroom Comedy at McNally’s Irish Pub.

Before moving to foggy California, she made a pit stop in sweaty North Carolina, where she studied acting and improv with the Transactors Improv Co. She wrote, produced, and starred in her play Sex, Drugs, & Dinner. Once in the Bay Area, she switched from improv to stand-up, won third place in CA’s Funniest Female Contest, and appeared on season six of NBC's Last Comic Standing. She won the Character Comedy Competition at Harvey's by performing her song parody "Butter Face" as Lady HaHa. Every Tuesday morning Candy cohosts “Ben Feldman Presents Ben Feldman’s the Ben Feldman Show With Candy Churilla And Microphones” on San Francisco’s Pirate Cat Radio. She won Rooftop Comedy's Comic of the Month Contest in August 2006 and placed as a finalist in the Ladies Only Comedy Competition at Cobb's Comedy Club in San Francisco. Her August 2007 video submission to the UK’s Pot Noodle Network won!

This bachelorette's life is one misunderstanding, man, and cocktail after another. What this lovably twisted comic lacks in self-control she makes up for in self-involvement. Someday she hopes to star in her own HBO series Sex & the Ghetto.

Molly Sokhom

Molly Sokhom can be found all over the Bay Area, barely able to reach for microphones. A Cambodian with a flare for the obscure, this firecracker, packs a hell of a pop. Being an Asian American comic has also inspired her to talk about the cultural clashes and stereotypes that her family has had to face. Don't be fooled by her cute appearance and vertically challenged frame of 4'10", her feisty and dorky side will surprise all! When she’s not cracking jokes you can find this hot n tot in the classroom working on her degree in TV/VCR repair.
