Reena Calm

COMEDY

Reena Calm

Reena Calm is an East Coast Jew turned Chicago favorite, became one of the most respected and requested comedians in the Midwest, and is now a nationally touring headliner. Pulling from a lifetime of questionable choices, Reena’s material is autobiographical, silly, and charmingly inappropriate.

Living out of a tricked out Prius, this pun-slinger travels the country on her signature #Calmedy tours. She's on a mission to make people laugh in all 50 States (just a few left to go).

She's opened for legends like Arsenio Hall, Laurie Kilmartin, and Eddie Pepitone, to name a few. Reena has been a frequent guest on WGN Radio, was on the Doug Loves Movies podcast, and was named Comic of The Week on The Jackie & Laurie Show.

Check out her book “Once A Pun A Time…Legend of a Sighs Queen” on Amazon. Reena’s been called "everything comedy should be" by a guy in Wisconsin, “also terrific” by the Chicago Tribune, and “NOT a disappointment” by her mother. She hopes to do a show in your town soon, and would love to sleep in your finest parking lot.

Reena Calm is happy to be here! Reena was raised in the suburbs of Massachusetts, and many mental health facilities in the greater Boston area. Obsessed with comedy, she moved to Chicago and made a name for herself as a favorite in one of the greatest comedy cities in the world. Reena is a regular on all the best stages in Chicago and was a teacher at the legendary Second City. She quickly became one of the most respected and requested comedians in the Midwest, and is now a nationally touring headliner. Reena is a wordsmith whose material is autobiographical, silly, and charmingly inappropriate, pulling from a lifetime of questionable choices.

Speaking of questionable choices, she's one of the only women in the U.S. to ever be a full-time road comic. Traveling around the country in a converted minivan, this pun-slinger has made audiences laugh in ALL 50 States! Full of wild tales from the road, Reena's debut album "CALMEDY" was #1 on the comedy charts, and can be heard on Sirius XM.

Reena has featured at Limestone, RiOT LA, Flyover, High Plains and so many cool festivals. Shes been a guest on multiple episodes of the Doug Loves Movies podcast, and was a Comic of The Week on The Jackie & Laurie Show. She's opened for comedy icons like Arsenio Hall, Maria Bamford, Eddie Pepitone, Laurie Kilmartin, Doug Benson and many more.

Check out her book "Once A Pun A Time...Legend of a Sighs Queen" on Amazon. Reena's been called "a one-woman punk band of a comedian" by Jeff Bailey, "everything comedy should be" by Sam Tallent, one of "the best independent comics in the country" by Clearwater Comedy, and "terrific!" by the Chicago Tribune. She hopes to see you at a show in your town soon, and would love to sleep in your finest parking lot. Follow her on Instagram to ride along on her travels @ReenaCalm #ViewnitedStates.
