Eeland Stribling — your aunty’s favorite stand-up comedian — recently moved to New York after rising through the Denver comedy scene.
He is the winner of the 2025 Don’t Tell Comedy Competition and a 2023 & 2024 New Faces selection at Comedy Works. Eeland tours nationally and has performed in cities including Boston, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and Austin, as well as festivals such as Laughing Skull, High Plains, 10K Laughs, Limestone, Flyover, Alaska Comedy Festival, and more.
Outside of comedy, Eeland is also a wildlife biologist and environmental educator. He’s been affectionately called the “Black Steve Irwin” and was featured on PBS’s Roots of Comedy with Jesus Trejo. He combines both passions in his hit series Comedians on the Fly, where he takes fellow comedians fly fishing while swapping stories, tangling lines, and occasionally catching a fish.
Don’t be fooled by his grumpy demeanor — Eeland’s got a heart of gold under all the sarcasm, and he’ll make sure you leave with a belly full of laughs, an animal fact, and a fresh take on everything from politics to penguins.
