Joe Ellis

Returning comic, not a first-timer; a trans woman and former Blackhawk helicopter pilot who recently moved to Austin. Started standup in June of the previous year. Credited the show with changing her life, including press coverage of her last appearance and opening ten minutes for a national headliner, with a special on the way.

A former Blackhawk pilot and door gunner who served in the military for 16 years before being discharged due to transitioning. She lives in Richmond, Virginia, and is currently suing a social media personality for defamation related to a helicopter crash rumor. This was her first time signing up for the show.
