Ariel Elias is a New York-based comedian and writer originally from Kentucky, known for her sharp, observational humor and authentic storytelling. She first gained widespread national attention in 2022 after a viral video showed her calmly chugging a beer thrown at her by a heckler during a set, an event that led to her late-night debut on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Her comedy frequently explores her identity as a Southern Jew, her experiences with marriage, and the nuances of millennial life.
In July 2025, she released her debut stand-up special, "A Jewish Star," through 800 Pound Gorilla Media, which was met with critical praise for its wit and vulnerability. Described by The New York Times as a "sly young comic," she is a regular performer at major clubs like the Comedy Cellar and has been featured in Rolling Stone and on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." Beyond stand-up, she co-hosts the podcast "Well Behaved," which focuses on the lives of rebellious women throughout history.
