Hilary Schwartz

Ranging from personal subjects to social commentary, Hilary Schwartz’s stand-up comedy is intelligent, poignant, honest, and somehow still adorable. She has been heard on XM Radio and seen on MTV. Hilary has been featured in TimeOut New York, Heeb Magazine, and The Washington Post. Hilary has opened for established comedians, including Dave Attell, Cory Kahaney, and Jonathan Katz. She was selected to perform at the 2010 and 2011 Women in Comedy Festival in Boston, was a finalist in the DC Improv’s comedy contest, and appeared in the long-running San Francisco show, Kung Pao Kosher Comedy.

Her comedy has taken her on the road from California to Canada, not to mention, Delaware.
