medical history (bio)
Grace Bahler is a comedian, actress, and writer based in Los Angeles, California. She came up in Chicago, where she graduated Second City's Conservatory and found a home within the standup scene. What started as a one-month gig hosting Laugh Factory's weekly open mic turned into three years, landing her two awards as "Best Host" (2023 & 2024). Across Zanies, The Den, and the Hollywood Improv, she's opened for acts like Esther Povitsky, Amber Autry, Michael Ian Black, Sydnee Washington, Moshe Kasher, T Barb, and more. She has written for Reductress and the BOB & TOM Show, and just released an original web series she wrote and starred in for Laugh Factory, "C U Next Tuesday." She's represented by Entertainment 360 and has zero allergies to food or medication.
After running Laugh Factory Chicago's open mic, which featured 30 comics doing three minutes each, Grace Bahler thought, what if it were three comics doing three minutes on a loop? Thus, Braided was born. It started at The Lincoln Lodge (and is still there, every second Friday of the month) before touring to NYC, LA, and Austin. Most recently, Grace and Chicago producer Suz Ballout took Braided to the New York Comedy Festival where it played at Brooklyn Comedy Collective.
Braided is now a regular show in Los Angeles at the Lyric Hyperion. The next one is Saturday, March 7 at 7:30pm — get tickets now!!!!
