MAGGIE CASSELLA
Funny. Formidable. Uncontained.
Comedian, performer, writer, producer, and founder of We’re Funny That Way™.
Stories, shows, projects, and a long history of turning chaos into material.
Maggie Cassella has been talking for a living, and occasionally for survival, for most of her life.
She is a comedian, performer, writer, producer, actor, and founder of We’re Funny That Way™. Her work moves through comedy, storytelling, queer history, live performance, screen work, and the kind of projects that happen when somebody says, “How has no one done this yet?”
Performer
Stand-up, storytelling, hosting, acting, and live performance shaped by decades on stage, on camera, behind the mic, and trying to turn the world on with her smile.
Story
The path behind the work: leaving law, moving to Canada, building a life in comedy, and turning the whole strange trip into material.
Creator
Festivals, platforms, podcasts, productions, and the ongoing effort to document, celebrate, and make space for the voices that should be heard.
On the burner
Live work, new projects, and the things currently making their way toward a stage, a mic, or whatever platform they can squeeze into.
OGQ's: The Comedians
Maggie and Katie Ford are developing and preparing to record OGQs: The Comedians, a podcast tracing the history of queer comedy and the performers who made room before there was room.
We're Funny That Way Goes Digital
Maggie and Katie are building We’re Funny That Way™ into a digital platform for queer comedy, performance, history, and the next thing that clearly needs a stage.
