Julie Osborne is the kind of comedian who could make a statue snort-laugh. She’s got this wild energy like your best friend after two glasses of boxed wine, yelling across the room, “DO YOU REMEMBER THAT TIME YOU TRIED SPEED DATING AND ENDED UP TRAPPED WITH A MAN WHO ONLY SPOKE IN MOVIE QUOTES?”

Julie hits every stage like it owes her money—from swanky cruise ships to corporate events where Steve from accounting suddenly remembers how to smile. She even did a wedding once where the groom’s mom laughed so hard her Spanx surrendered. You think menopause is a dry topic? Not with Julie. She turns hot flashes into sweaty comedy: “I didn’t know if I was getting turned on or shutting down like a toaster oven with feelings.”

Her dating stories? Golden. One time she said, “I once went on a date with someone who's face look like they caught lobsters all day. Don't take your work home with you, you end up looking like how you feel about it."

She’s got this gift of turning everyday chaos into therapy with punchlines. Office jobs? She says, “I’ve had so many weird bosses, at this point I just answer to anyone holding a stapler.” Julie makes you feel like life is a circus and she’s the ringmaster just trying to keep the clowns from unionizing. And yeah, she jokes about doing shows in back alleys, but only because she almost

did one—until she realized the alley had better lighting than most cruise ships.
