Standup

Right before their 27th birthday (Saturn returns bb), fresh after graduating from masters in computer science, Raye went on a journey of self-discovery and embarked on a solo road trip from NY to LA. On their way they stopped in Austin, Texas where they made the crazy decision to try standup for the first time. The rush of adrenaline and fear made them insane (in a fun way) and they found 4 more mics to go to that night.  After leaving a religious community with so much fear and shame, the stage was a place to make light of all the issues you feel shame about, and they've been obsessed ever since.​

Anyway, here's an actual bio:

Raye Schiller is a queer, formerly Orthodox Jewish comedian and writer from New York, based in Los Angeles. Raye has been featured in the New York Times, headlined at the NY Comedy Festival and has performed standup around the world, including London, Rome,  Paris, and Peru. Raye hosts the popular comedy podcast “Yenta!” and boasts a devoted social media following with millions of views on their standup clips. For no good reason, Raye also has a Masters in Computer Science from Cornell University.​​
