About Paige Elson

I am a writer, actor, and comedian originally from Stockton, California (aka the dub-nine), who \"moved on up\" to study theater at Pepperdine University and comedy at UCB LA where I became a performer/writer on house teams. As a Black, biracial woman raised by a single, white mother, I often explore themes of Blackness, biracial-ness, womanhood, and identity in my writing. I like to mine the nuance in our different experiences and laugh about it because I think sharing laughter is the greatest gift. When I’m not creating, you can catch me dramatically belting Mariah Carey from the privacy of my car, snapping film photos, and telling all my curly-haired friends which hair products to try.
