Sam Rocha

This Cheshire Cat Comedy showcase is headlined by Chicago-based comic Sam Rocha, whose dry and rapid-fire standup examines a wide range of modern American culture, including life as a transgender person (“it’s ok, I’m asymptomatic”) and other aspects of gender differences. Rocha hits a similar swath of topics in her many funny short videos on social media, including a recent spot-on parody ad for political campaign management services. With Neeraj Srinivasan, Olivia May, and host Aris Awes. 

media release: Sam Rocha is a Chicago comedian whose work blends her queer/trans identity with sharp, playful, culturally dialed-in comedy. She produces SASHAY at Laugh Factory Chicago and Nervous Laughter at The Lincoln Lodge Theater, showcasing a range of comics and her own offbeat sensibility. Her videos — a mix of stand-up clips, sketches, and movie-culture satire — have earned millions of views across Instagram and TikTok. Rocha regularly performs at Chicago mainstays like Comedians You Should Know and Zanies, bringing a voice that’s fresh, funny, and unmistakably her own.
