Ring in the New Year with laughs! Join us for a night of comedy featuring the brilliant Bethany Van Delft
Bethany Van Delft, a Boston-based comedian known for her hip, grounded style and laid-back delivery. Bethany has hosted The Moth StorySLAMs and GrandSLAMs, appeared on iHeartRadio, Nickelodeon, and GBH, and brings sharp wit and heart to every stage she steps on.
A go-to opener for comics like Phoebe Robinson, Michelle Buteau, Michael Che, Rob Delaney, and Alonzo Bodden, Bethany has performed at Just for Laughs Montreal, SF Sketchfest, Boston Calling, and the All Jane Festival. In 2019, she was named Boston Magazine’s Best Comic, and her debut album I’m Not a Llama reached #2 on the iTunes comedy charts.
Bethany is an award-winning producer and storyteller. Her Women in Comedy Festival series “38/7%” earned HBO sponsorship, her monthly show Artisanal Comedy was named one of Boston’s top indie comedy nights, and her live storytelling show Starstruck was awarded Boston’s Best Comedy Show. Her Moth mainstage story “Light & Hope,” about her postpartum experience, garnered over 15 million views and was included in The Moth’s book All These Wonders.
An advocate and sought-after speaker, Bethany delivers keynotes nationwide on storytelling, family engagement, and advocacy. She also hosts iHeartRadio’s kids news podcast The Ten News and co-hosts PBS/NOVA’s digital series Parentalogic. She somehow balances it all while raising her family—and still finds time to bake pretty well.
