About Ariel Elias

Ariel Elias is a stand-up comedian who performs regularly in New York City, including sets at New York Comedy Club’s East Village room.

Her late-night TV appearances and club work draw on a biography that includes growing up Jewish in Kentucky, marriage, and life as a millennial woman. Her performances favor clean structure and direct observation over spectacle.
