Originally from Dallas, Iliza moved to Los Angeles after graduating from Emerson College. She is the only female and youngest comedian to hold the title of NBC’s Last Comic Standing. Her debut one-hour comedy special, War Paint, reached #1 on the iTunes charts and was named one of its Top 10 Albums of 2013. In early 2015, Iliza’s follow-up Freezing Hot, a Netflix Original Comedy Special, sealed her title as one of the hottest touring acts in America, with Esquire Magazine listing her as one of the top working comedians today.

Iliza’s stand-up credentials also include headlining the coveted Montreal Just For Laughs Festival and The New York Comedy Festival. As a national headliner, Iliza tours year-round selling out hundreds of clubs and colleges throughout the world. She also participated in the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s personal USO Tour throughout the Middle East and Europe, as well as Al Roker’s Today Show USO Tour in Afghanistan, with Jay Leno and Craig Robinson. 

Iliza’s television credits include multiple appearances on NBC’S Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Today Show, Comedy Central, Hollywood Game Night, Chelsea Lately, Arsenio and Late Night with Carson Daly as well as hosting 230 episodes for the CBS syndicated show Excused and the TBS show Separation Anxiety in 2016.

Her digital show Forever 31 is currently streaming on ABCd and Hulu and has already been picked up for a second season. Iliza can now be seen in Confirmed Kills, her newest stand up special for Netflix which premiered on September 23rd. In Spring 2017, Weinstein Books will publish her first book Girl Logic.
