Ester Steinberg

<p class="p1">Ester Steinberg started performing stand-up on the lunch tables of her high school in Tampa before attending NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. While living in Los Angeles before the pandemic, she produced and hosted a regular comedy show in the Kibitz Room of Canter’s Deli, co-starred in the Oxygen reality series <em>Funny Girls</em>, and got New Faces at Just For Laughs Montreal in 2015. She has since appeared in episodes of <em>The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel</em> and <em>Adam Ruins Everything</em>, and released a comedy album, “Hebrew School Dropout.” In 2021, she’s out with her first stand-up special, <em>Burning Bush</em>, filmed outside the Rose Bowl during the pandemic just weeks after she’d given birth to her first child. We talk all about that, how she managed to put together a new hour under quarantine, double standards for sexiness among comedians, and more. All roads lead to Rome, so let’s get to it!</p>
