ATL Comic Profile: Shalewa Sharpe

Shalewa Sharpe brings a much-needed perspective to Atlanta’s comedy scene. The Laughing Skull Lounge’s resident comic for the month of February, her stage presence suggests she’s an old soul with a young spirit, and her material hints at a brilliant mind still susceptible to pop-culture infiltration. With a comedic style and fashion sense all her own, Sharpe should continue to turn heads, on and off stage.

ATLien since: 1980

Comedienne since: 2009

A lil’ joke: “A big parenting fear of mine is that my 15 year old daughter will get busted in a parked car with her middle school teacher. A bigger parenting fear is that I’ll have a 15 year old daughter who’s still in middle school.”

Feb. 9 - The Warren
Feb. 14 - Valentines Schmalentines @ the Basement Theatre
Feb. 22 - Bawling Comedy @ Bailey’s American Tavern, Athens GA
