Brave brings the laughs (again) for Snowmass Live’s Comedy WKND!

Comedian Brittany Brave and Friends will deliver a full hour of her fearless standup at Snowmass Live’s Comedy WKND! from 7:30 to 9 p.m. July 13. 

And yes, “Brave” is truly her name, a nod to her Italian roots. Lately, Brave has been touring across the country as the headliner of her one-hour “I Have a Secret” tour. 

“It’s been awesome,” Brave said of her first national tour as lead performer.

Although Brave has only been to Colorado one time before, she already loves it. It’s part of Brave’s main mission to continue to tour, professing, “I love standup more than anything.”

A New York and Miami-based comedian who has made a splash on the comedy scene for the past seven years, Brave has been acknowledged as an Emerging Talent by TBS in 2022 and NY Comedy Festival Comic to Watch in 2024.

As part of her upcoming Snowmass show, Brave will incorporate some of her tour material. Future audience members and fans can share their deepest, darkest secrets, and…

“I will share their secrets with the audience and give advice,” Brave said, allowing people to remain anonymous or speak up, whatever the secret-sharer prefers. 

The Collective Snowmass will be collecting these undisclosed tidbits over the next week and a half leading up to the festival, including a pop-up asking people for their input at the Snowmass Gondola on July 12.

“It will be playful and fun, and we will have tiny microphones,” Director of Plaza Venues and Events Sarah Sanders said, estimating the pop-up will begin around noon. 

Brave had Comedy WKND! on her calendar since December, when she headlined the Collective Snowmass’ 2024 “Ho! Ho! Ho! Holiday Show” and was so entertaining that Sanders invited her back in a larger role.

“I love the crowds, I love the team. I loved Snowmass so much, they invited me back for the Comedy WKND! It’s so cool to see what Sarah Sanders and her team are building. It’s growing, and now it’s a whole long festival,” Brave said.

Brave is also the executive producer of “Muchacha” — a short film documentary about the Miami comedy scene set to be released in 2026.

Brave’s comedy chops have been inspired by Joan Rivers, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, and most of all her mother, Karen — “the funniest person” Brave knows. 

The event will be hosted by comedy expert Christie Buchele and feature local comedian Julie Gillespie, taking place at the Collective Hall space located at 49 Wood Rd., Snowmass Village.
