Ai Norman

Ai Norman is one of Louis C.K.’s regular openers and is known for her quick wit, dark humor, and politically fluid satire. Known for being a Kill Tony panelist and a regular at SXSW, Skankfest, and the Moontower Comedy festival, Arielle cuts right through the bullsh*t and gets to the core of social, political, and gender issues in a way people of all political stripes enjoy. A native Texan and gay ex-Mormon, Arielle doesn’t fit a box and doesn’t think you do either. Arielle’s 2024 debut special Ellen DeGenderless dives into pronouns, sports, restrooms, medical transition, detransition, and the cancellation of words—with moral clarity and nonstop punchlines. Norman is a two time finalist in the Funniest Person in Austin contest and won first place in the Palm Springs International Comedy Festival in 2024.
