Originally from Oakland, California, Lizzie Martinez is a stand-up comedian and writer based in Brooklyn. Her stupid-smart brand of comedy combines subtle observations about the awkwardness of everyday life, tight punchlines, and absurd takes on sex (and other gross stuff!).

She is currently a Headline Contributor for The Onion, and has written for Funny or Die. In 2016, she co-created and starred in the web series "#Throwback," which was named one of the 10 Best Comedy Web Series of the year by Paste Magazine.

She co-produces "Starf*ckers," a monthly show about astrology at Union Hall, and Savage, a weekly show which was recently named one of the Best Alt-Comedy Shows in Brooklyn by Vulture and Splitsider.

She does stand-up all over NYC and has performed at venues like UCB, the Bell House, New York Comedy Club, Union Hall, and Caveat, and on shows like "Butterboy," "Caroline’s Comedy Madness" (semi-finalist), "Comedians You Should Know," "Good Heroin," and "Reductress Live," as well as on special showcases for Comedy Central and The Onion/AV Club.

Festival experience includes HBO’s Women in Comedy Festival, Brooklyn Comedy Festival, New York City Sketch Festival, and NC Comedy Arts Festival.
