Queer Comedy

Queer Comedy is back—and louder, prouder, and funnier than ever. Now in its 3rd year, Queer Comedy has become a signature My Hollywood Pride event, delivering Out & Proud laughs that celebrate queer joy, visibility, and community in true Hollywood style.

Returning as host, Abby Ballin brings the night together with sharp wit and fearless honesty. An NYC-born, South Florida–based comedian, photographer, and producer, Abby has more than 20 years of experience in media and storytelling. Featured in The New York Times, Time Out New York, and The Village Voice, Abby is known for her raw, autobiographical comedy that creates real connection and big laughs. A beloved presence at My Hollywood Pride, she’s thrilled to return as host and set the tone for another unforgettable night.

Headlining the show is Dr. Anna Lepeley, a Cuban-American, internationally touring comedian, author, and proud Subaru enthusiast. Anna has opened for Bob the Drag Queen, Chris Kattan, Jonathan Van Ness, Zane Lamprey, and more. Formerly a college professor and nutrition educator who once lectured bomb technicians on hydration, Dr. Lepley now tours full-time delivering smart, unexpected comedy rooted in life experience—and yes, her merch is a must-see after the show.

Also taking the stage is Bear Clarke Webb, known for bold storytelling, sharp observations, and an unapologetically queer point of view. Bear’s comedy blends heart, humor, and lived experience, connecting with audiences through stories that are as relatable as they are laugh-out-loud funny. His high-energy delivery and authentic voice make him a standout favorite.

Special Guest Robb Kalert rounds out the lineup. A South Florida–based stand-up comedian, proud U.S. Air Force veteran, and father, Robb spent years performing around the world with Air Force Entertainment before transitioning to comedy clubs nationwide. His smart, relatable humor pulls from the chaos of fatherhood, dating misadventures, and everyday frustrations—delivered with authenticity, animation, and veteran-honed stage presence.

Kick off the night VIP-style with an exclusive Meet & Greet with Cocktails, featuring Campari, SKYY Vodka, and Espolòn Tequila, plus light bites. Enjoy the sounds of USA DJ Entertainment setting the vibe as you sip, mingle, snap photos, and meet the comedians before the laughs begin.

All of this takes place at the brand-new Hollywood Arts Hub at the Art and Culture Center Hollywood—an exciting new cultural destination in Downtown Hollywood designed for creativity, connection, and community. With an intimate auditorium and vibrant energy, it’s the perfect stage for a night of Out & Proud comedy.
