Joyce Artinian

Born and raised in the great state of New Jersey by Lebanese immigrant parents, Joyce is thrilled to be a part of this year's festival! She has been trained in stand up comedy writing and performance at Gotham Writers Workshop, and in improvisational comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. And, that's not all! Joyce is also a fill-in Radio Host/DJ and Voiceover Artist known as "Joyce the Voice," plus she dabbles in filmmaking, her short film debut being "The Merry Widow of Windsor Terrace." Her other film credits include "Days of Infamy" (Assistant Director) and "80 Ways to Be Wonderful" (starring as herself). Joyce enjoys singing, too, whether it is serious opera or silly karaoke and, of course, making people laugh! She is a graduate of New York University.
