Not your typical female comedian, Emily Galati does not dwell on the differences between men and women or any of the other cliche topics you have come to expect from female comics. Instead, she offers up intelligent and hilarious material, with impeccable timing and a charm rarely seen on the comedy stage. In 2013, Emily was chosen to represent Chicago in the "Best of the Midwest" Competition at Gilda's LaughFest. She has also been a
semi-finalist in NBC's Stand Up for Diversity and finalist in the Bob
and Tom Comedy Contest.
Emily performs
regularly at the legendary Zanies Comedy Club in Chicago and has
traveled all over the country to work with national acts such as Jeffery
Ross, Gilbert Gottfried, Dwayne Perkins, Jimmy Dore, Jeff Richards,
Kyle Kinane, and Matt Braunger. You can also catch her on your
television set performing on shows like “The Comedy Thrift Store”,
“Funny Sundaes” and Comcast OnDemand's Laugh Out Loud.
Emily was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona where she enjoyed sunny days and swimming in December. She currently resides in Chicago, Illinois and misses her pool.
