Hope Riska

Hailing originally from Brooklyn Park (the good part), Minnesota, this funny lady has been performing in Minnesota clubs and the Midwest for a number of years now. She says she began her career in Comedy on a “dare” — and has been hooked! Her “girl next door” appearance combined with an almost squeaky-clean repertoire makes this Minnesota Comic/Machine Tool Coordinator/Tupperware Consultant leave you “burping” for more!

For Hope, performing is "better than any drug I could ever take (not that I have ever taken any, it just sounds good!)." She loves making people laugh and has been compared to Gary Shandling.

She is a Christian Professional Standup Comedienne and Customer Advocate. She loves making people laugh and making customers happy - wait, isn't that kind of an oxy-moron? She feels God gave her a gift of humor and she tries to use it to the best of her ability - plus, she thinks if she can make one person forget the troubles of their day or life for 5 minutes, she have done her job!

Hope performs in Comedy Clubs, Bars, Colleges, Corporate Events, Rest Areas (yeah, that was a toughie when MN closed all of them across the state!) and anywhere people need to laugh! Her goal is to speak at Christian Youth meetings or gatherings, or youth groups, using humor to motivate teens (and adults) to come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. She would love to perform/speak at your next event or special function. Giving back to God what He has blessed her with - what a joy!
