Blayr Nias

With a lightning wit and self deprecating humor, Blayr Nias is a comic that is relatable to
all walks of life. Unapologetically fierce and funny she covers everything from current events to
race and gender relations, never missing an opportunity to dazzle the audience with wordplay
and puns. Blayr has a reputation for saying bad things in a nice way giving her the style of
“mean clean.”
Hailing from Boston, Ma and graduating from George Washington University with a
degree in Theater and Creative Writing, Ms. Nias is a Yankee at heart but living in the South
gives her the perfect blend of Northern aggression and Southern hospitality. She has worked with
comedy heavyweights throughout her career such as Marc Maron, DL Hughley, Katt Williams,
and she recently opened for Fortune Feimster as she filmed her television special.
Blayr was selected as “Best Comedian” by both Charlotte Magazine and Creative
Loafing Magazine, as well as Top 30 Under 30 by Elevate Lifestyle Magazine.
She’s performed at the Laugh Your Asheville Off Festival, Laughing Skull Comedy Festival, and Funny or Die’s
Oddball Comedy Festival. Ms. Nias made her television debut on Fox “Laughs” and has also
been seen on Comedy Central's “Up Next”, and as a contributor on WCCB News Rising’s
“Couch Chat”. The new mom recently released her debut album “Telling Jokes for Two” and
continues to tour solo or with her partner in crime and comedy Ryan Van Genderen on the Love
and War Comedy Tour.
