Natasha Pearl Hansen
COMEDIAN, CREATOR & COMMUNITY ARCHITECT
“Harnessing the connective power of humor and authentic storytelling, particularly in navigating life’s inevitable hardships like heartbreak and loss, offers a novel pathway to building resilient communities where vulnerability is celebrated and genuine belonging thrives.”
Natasha Pearl Hansen is a comedian, creator, and entrepreneur who turns life’s detours into unforgettable stories. Her comedy career began at Second City Chicago in 2006, where she wrote, directed, and performed in dozens of shows before finding her voice in stand-up in 2010.
Since then, she’s toured internationally, performed at major festivals, and been featured on Hulu, Comedy Central, Prime Video, Apple TV, and Netflix is a Joke Radio. When her wedding was canceled three weeks before the big day, she filmed a comedy special at the venue—on the original date, with the original guest list. That special, I Was Supposed to Get Married Today, became the unexpected launchpad for an innovative platform helping people find support, joy, and community through loss, grief and major life change.
Natasha’s work blends humor, vulnerability, and human connection—reminding us that even life’s sharpest twists can leave us laughing.
