About our headliner
Named in the top 5 for Best Comedian in the Twin Cities (City Pages, 2019), Khadijah Cooper grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis as an only child. Working as a Sexuality Educator with teens, her confidence in public speaking coupled with her quick wit gave her all the fuel she needed to burst on to the comedy scene, quickly making her name known. Her point of view as a mother, a Sexuality Educator, and someone who has the confidence and comfort in her skin makes her irresistible to laugh with and relate to.
