Yamaneika Saunders

Yamaneika Saunders storms the stage like a holy roller in stilettos, lettin’ loose truth, thunder, and top-tier punchlines that slap like a gospel choir. With a career that’s been burnin’ hot for over a decade, Yam lit up The Degenerates on Netflix, dropped a searing half-hour on Comedy Central, and brought down the house at Just For Laughs. She’s penned fire for Inside Amy Schumer (which snatched a WGA Award this year) and That Damn Michael Che for HBO. Her voice ain’t just commanding—it’s animated, baby, with credits on Teenage Euthanasia and Hot Carl & Durp. Whether she’s a panelist on The Meredith Vieira Show, a star on Oxygen’s Funny Girls, or takin’ the mic at This Week at the Comedy Cellar, Yamaneika don’t just tell jokes—she testifies. Catch her on tour or on Life & Beth season two, where she’s bringin’ that soul-stirring comedy like no one else.
