this is my face

Hi. I’m Emma Estrada, an LA-bred & based writer & comedian. I work as a copywriter.

Sometimes I flail my body, and people call it dancing.

Here’s everything I stake my self-esteem on:

  • Recently published this essay in the LA Times.

  • Got my BA in English Lit (‘19) from UC Berkeley. Go Bears?

  • Made the classic move of going to clown school in France at Ecole Philippe Gaulier. Got yelled at a lot. Yay.

  • Created the short film Ashes to Trashes with a 2k budget + desperation + 1 weekend.

  • Performed a sold-out run of my clown solo show, Emma Estrada Seeks Estardum, at the 2024 Hollywood Fringe Festival & Elysian Theater.

  • Wrote, acted, & directed two seasons of Peach Fuzz, a comedy web series about getting sober, pursuing comedy, and dating in LA.

  • Co-host of Confessions (@confessions.reading), a monthly non-fiction reading series at Bar Henry in Echo Park. (Next one is Thursday, July 23, 2026, at 7:30 at Bar Henry).

  • Currently teaching writing workshops in Los Angeles & working on a book of essays.
