Krista Komondor is an actor, comedian, and clown with “many faces.” Her performance on season 18 of America’s Got Talent was the climax of episode 9, with her act garnering a standing ovation from Howie Mandel, who compared Krista to famed comedian Andy Kaufman. Clips of her performance went viral, with over 60 million views across Tiktok, Instagram, and YouTube.
Melding a background of standup comedy, clown, improvisation, and playwriting, Krista’s dynamic performances pull audiences into the action (literally and figuratively).
Reviewers at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe, described her performance as “Comedy Gold with a Big Loving Heart."
Krista’s play Mercy Machine (based on her experiences as a Nurse Practitioner working in NYC nursing Homes) was part of an initiative to educate the public about the importance of advance directives, and was endorsed by health educators, clinicians and advocates.
