Wendy Maybury is a stand-up comedian and photographer from Minneapolis, Minnesota. [2] Her debut album She's Not From Around Here, produced by Grammy winner Dan Schlissel, was released June 26, 2020 on Stand Up! Records, and reached No. 1 on the Amazon comedy chart. [3]
A self-described "military brat," Maybury was born in Japan and lived in Virginia, Alabama, Germany and other places growing up, and went to high schools in four different cities. [4] Her family is from Alabama. [5] Her grandfather worked as a clown, and her uncle was a magician. [6] Maybury graduated from James Madison University in Virginia with a degree in teaching and Hallmark Institute of Photography. [7]
A professional photographer, Maybury worked with prominent artist Mary Ellen Mark as well as fashion photographer Jerry Avenaim. [7] She worked as a ship's photographer on a Mississippi River cruise ship between Minneapolis and New Orleans. [6]
After living in New York City and Los Angeles as a photographer, Maybury moved to Minneapolis, where she began performing stand-up in 2013. [8] Her early material revolved around her life as a 310-pound single woman. [9] After losing weight and becoming pregnant, she worried that her comedy career was over, but Louie Anderson encouraged her to continue, telling her that motherhood would be a rich source of jokes. [10] Her material has since evolved to focus on family and parenthood. Since 2017, she has co-hosted Day Drinking with Mom, a standup showcase focusing on parenting. [11] [12] From 2014 to 2017, she was the co-host of Dead Fans Talking, a podcast for fans of The Walking Dead. [13]
