Description

Janelle Niles brings a perspective to stand-up that the comedy circuit doesn't always represent — and has been building a voice around it that's impossible to ignore.

Janelle Niles is an Indigenous Canadian comedian known for her engaging storytelling and for comedy that reflects her cultural background, offering audiences a fresh perspective on contemporary issues.

  • How her Indigenous Canadian identity shapes the stories she tells and the way she tells them
  • What developing a genuine comedic voice requires — and why it's different from just finding material
  • Why cultural specificity, far from limiting an audience, is often what makes comedy connect most broadly
