Carolyn Busa's experience in stand-up comedy was fueled by her love of the contagious laugh. After years of being the one with the snort, Carolyn thought it time she take the stage to create a whole new generation of snorty laughers. Her first performance at a coffee shop lit the match to an awkwardly, awesome stand-up career. Carolyn may hail from the suburbs of New Jersey but she is no stranger to the city comedy scene.



She has performed at shows and clubs all over Philadelphia, featured in Philadelphia magazine, was a two-time semi-finalist in Helium Comedy Club's Philly's Phunniest contest and is co-host of Laughs on Fairmount, an up and coming Philly open mic, featured in Philadelphia Weekly. Carolyn continues to host shows in her hometown of Collingswood, NJ bringing incredible city talent over the bridge as well as contributing to local theatre and sketch productions.

Carolyn needs no kicking and screaming to attract attention. Her awkwardly disarming stage presence has viewers laughing with ease from the start. From her childhood memories of being a theatre kid to the present day mysteries of childbirth, the homeless, and owls - her set goes beyond the average female perspective. Wherever the show, Carolyn finds the laughter.

Check out Carolyn every Monday night at Laughs on Fairmount!
