Reed Sedgwick is a gender-queer Louisville comic who spent the pandemic growing one and a half sideburns. Their act is proof that laughing at a trans person isn’t always a bad thing. In 2021, Sedgwick took part in Limestone Comedy Festival. They’ve also been part of Accidental, Cape Fear, and Whiskey Bear Comedy Festivals. Louisville Magazine described their hands as “struggling birds” in the announcement that their long-running open mic, Comedy Collider, was Best Open Mic Night of Louisville in 2016. In 2018, they mounted Headcase, their one-person show about psychosis, for Louisville Fringe Festival. They have opened for Beth Stelling, Cameron Esposito, Kyle Kinane, Jackie Kashian, Myq Kaplan, and Stewart Huff. Once, a competition judge unironically told them their set “wasn’t preachy at all.” That’s because Sedgwick writes jokes from an outsider’s perspective that are for everyone to enjoy.
