BARBARA HOLLIDAY

Barbara is the owner of Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank and H2F Comedy Productions an LA-Based Comedy Management and Development company, Holliday is an unexpectedly funny, blue-eyed, 5-foot-2-inch dynamo.

A few of her shows include Uncle Clyde’s Comedy Contest, sponsored by the Riviera Comedy Club in Las Vegas, Survival of the Funniest and the Hollywood Ha Ha Festival, as well as many projects for film and television. She has also been on 14 Game Shows- Is that legal?

Holliday was born in Long Island, New York to computer programmer Paul Holliday and visual artist, Madeline Baker. She believes her multi-talented capacity for performance, and business is a result of being raised in a thoroughly “left brain/right brain” trailer park family. Experience probably has much to do with her flair as well. After graduating from San Diego State University with her Teaching certification and a degree in Theater Arts (Hon.) English minor in 1989, she was headed for a high school teaching stint but ended up getting cast instead as a Kid’s Club Host for Fox on the highly-rated television program Fox Kids Club. The show allowed Holliday to hone her performance & leadership skills on some of the toughest guests around-young children and animals-while simultaneously writing and producing her daily show.

Since moving to Los Angeles in 1993, Holliday has performed in National Television commercials for SBCGlobal, films such as (Naked Gun 33⅓) and television shows (Friends, The Dating Game, World’s Funniest), on stage (Funny Girl, Hello Dolly, West Side Story) and as a stand-up and sketch comedian (The Comedy Store, IGBY’s, Ha Ha Café, The Improv and various other Showcases throughout Los Angeles).  She has also worked as a Clown, and balloon artist at local theme parks, as well as being the CO-Creator of Uncle Clyde’s Comedy Contest, and Survival of the Funniest and many other reality and comedy show pilots.
