ABOUT OUR COMICS:
Khadijah Cooper grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis as an only child. Working as a Sexuality Educator with teens, her confidence in public speaking coupled with her quick wit gave her all the fuel she needed to burst on to the comedy scene making her name known. Khadijah was Top 5 for Best Comedian voted by City Pages. Her point of view and stories of her life make her irresistible to laugh with and relate to.

Ci Ci Cooper's love for comedy started at a very early age while watching the "Not Ready For Primetime Players", the original cast for SNL. Ci Ci always dreamed of becoming a comedian to make people laugh the way she enjoyed laughing watching SNL and now she's living that dream! Ci Ci has performed for audiences all over the country and is a staple of Twin Cities comedy.
