Cameron Edwards

Comedian

Growing up impoverished on the north side of Omaha, NE everything seemed so much more pressing and serious about life. So, as an outlet my way to deal with the weight of situations and circumstances was by finding a way to smile through it all no matter what. I found it easy to make everything into a joke to ease some of the sting of life's hurt. Stand up comedy was something I have always wanted to try, so it just seemed like a no brainer to bring my talents to a public platform. Suffering through depression myself, it has been very important to & for me to be able to connect with someone who's experiencing a dark time and or potentially in a dangerous headspace and bring them light, laughter, and positivity wherever and whenever needed. Even learning the scientific effects that laughter has on the mind and how it can actually induce physical changes in the body, I found that comedy is literally healing for people. My goal through comedy is to change minds and touch lives in the name of laughter and wellness. Because we all go through tough times and experience hardships in life. But if I can make even one single person forget about all of life's problems for that little bit of time that we share together while I'm on stage working, then I have done my job.
