About
Clara Bijl is a French-American stand-up comedian and writer based in San Francisco, with over 30 years performing across the US and Europe.
Born in Paris and raised in the Alps, Clara moved to America at 18 — attending college in South Carolina, as one does when coming from France. She relocated to New York City to begin her stand-up career, then to Los Angeles, and eventually settled in the Bay Area. She performs in both English and French.
Sharp, observational, and internationally flavored, Clara's comedy draws from immigration, motherhood, marriage, Bay Area life, and three decades on stage. She has headlined clubs and festivals across the US and Europe, hosted corporate events, fundraisers, and award shows, and written for television.
"An engaging and confident presence."
