Who Maija DiGiorgio is
Maija DiGiorgio is a New York stand-up comedian who taped five national television appearances in the first year of doing stand-up, starting with a standing ovation on NBC's Live from the Apollo. DiGiorgio has since been seen on HBO's Def Comedy Jam, Comics Unleashed and Uncontrolled Comedy Hour, heard on Hot 97 and seen on HBO's Sex and the City, and has toured overseas to perform for U.S. troops in Korea, Okinawa and Japan; Time Out New York called DiGiorgio one of 'the freshest, funniest, unique voices to grace the microphone'.
DiGiorgio narrated the stand-up documentary Bitter Jester, shown at Cinequest in 2003, and the specials Maija Pinion (2020) and Maija! Maija! Maija! (2022), released by Comedy Dynamics, look at life as a mixed-race, multicultural woman through dating, family and everyday observations.
