Bio

Candy Churilla was recently featured on NBC's Last Comic Standing. She was born and raised in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where she learned to drink. As a little girl, she dreamed of escaping Scranton to make a better life for herself and she finally has--in Oakland!

This bachelorette's life is one misunderstanding, man, and cocktail after another. What this lovably twisted comic lacks in self-control she makes up for in self-involvement.

She won Rooftop Comedy's Comic of the Month Contest in August 2006 and was a finalist in the Ladies Only Comedy Competition at Cobb's Comedy Club in San Francisco. Her August 2007 video submission to the Pot Noodle Network won!

Candy can be persuaded to act. In fact, here is her demo reel:
