SC 15 CONFIDENTLY UNDERCONFIDENT with Vanessa Hollingshead

Feb 5, 2021

A denizen of New York City, Vanessa might be the hardest-working person in the comedy biz. Drawing on her own life experiences and being raised by an unconventional Mother, Vanessa’s humor reflects a rawness and vulnerability that goes to the heart of the matter. Delivered in her unique hard-hitting style, Vanessa’s audiences easily engage in the comic relief she delivers.
