From radio waves to comedy stages, Lexis Shardé is a dynamic performer whose journey into stand-up began with a mic and a mission—to make people laugh, think, and sing along.
A Eugene native, Lexis discovered her love of public speaking as a college radio personality, eventually landing an on-air role with 94.9 Jamz. After earning her BA from the University of Oregon, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in entertainment. There, she developed content for a digital production company, taking on roles both in front of and behind the camera. A mentor encouraged her to explore improv, which led her to study at the famed Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre—an experience that sparked her lifelong commitment to comedy.
Lexis’s creative voice blends stand-up, musical parody, and character impressions, drawing on her background in film, broadcasting, and improv. She’s written and produced short films, hosted music and comedy series, and appeared in everything from reality TV to sketch comedy to viral videos. As a co-writer and filmmaker for The Comedy Show—selected for the 2024 Palm Springs International Comedy Festival—her performance earned high praise from comedian and judge Ahmed Ahmed, who called her set “the best of the evening.”
Her comedic chops have taken her across the country to top venues including The Comedy Store, The Improv, Flappers, Rick Bronson’s House of Comedy, Harvey’s Comedy Club, and Don’t Tell Comedy Phoenix. She’s a finalist of the 2019 Portland Comedy Festival, a first-round winner at the 2021 Cactus Comedy Classic, and has opened for acts like Sam Miller, Lucas Dick, and Brandon Broady. A performer with a deep love for music, she also brings parody songs into her set—combining stand-up with melody in ways that surprise and delight.
After years of touring and producing, Lexis returned home to Eugene and founded Lexy’s Comedy Club, the city’s first pop-up comedy venue centered on inclusivity and diverse talent. Whether she’s performing for comedy festivals, writing sketch and film, or warming up the mic with a parody track, Lexis Shardé is a one-of-a-kind talent with a story—and a laugh—for every room she enters.
