Rachel Scanlon

Rachel Scanlon is a stand-up comedian, writer and podcast host whose comedy brings an upbeat, personal perspective to queer life and family. Her hour special, Gay Fantasy, turns stories about her religious upbringing and a powerful soft-butch alter ego into a playful mix of personal tales and elaborate daydreams. Scanlon also has appeared on Don’t Tell Comedy, Just for Laughs’ "Straight Up, Stand Up" and Comedy Central. Her sets pair candid storytelling with imaginative detours, giving everyday details an offbeat, distinctly personal spin.
