Kalliope Barlis: A Traumedy Comedy Show

TRAUMEDY: Trauma Specialist Turned Comedian For years, people came to me to get rid of their fears and phobias. Now I stand on a stage and tell strangers about mine. TRAUMEDY is my comedy show at West Side Comedy Club. I spent my career as a phobia-relief specialist and NLP Master Trainer, helping people face what scared them most. Then I found the scariest thing of all: holding a microphone in front of a room full of New Yorkers. Turns out the best trauma therapy is a punchline. In TRAUMEDY, I take everything I learned about the human mind and turn it on myself: growing up in a loud Greek New York family, selling fireworks as a kid, going pro in golf, and all the other things that should’ve needed professional help. Spoiler: I was the professional help. It’s part stand-up, part comic counseling, and you don’t need a copay. You’ll laugh at my trauma, maybe some of yours, and leave lighter than you came in. No couch, no clipboard, no judgment. Just a two-item minimum. If you’ve ever survived your family, your childhood, or your own brain, this show is for you.
