In a city famous for pushing boundaries, “Clean Up Your Act” flips the script — challenging comedians to earn every laugh through timing, creativity, and storytelling alone. The result: sharper, more versatile sets that prove great comedy doesn’t need shock value to land. For performers, it’s a test of range; for audiences, it’s comedy at its cleverest.

Known for sharp storytelling and personal, punchline-driven original material, Kalliope draws on her Greek upbringing, life in New York City, career as a professional golfer, and work helping people confront phobias.

She was one of 12 finalists selected from 115 comedians in the MicDupNYC Comedy Competition in Times Square.

Kalliope has has performed at venues including West Side Comedy Club, Gotham Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, Rodney’s, Zanies Nashville, Governors Comedy Club, Christy B’s, and Don’t Tell. In her first year in stand-up, she made more than 300 stage appearances across the East Coast.

West Side Comedy Club on New York City’s Upper West Side serves as Kalliope’s home comedy base, where she produces a monthly comedy show.

Before comedy, Kalliope created the award-winning docu-series Kalliope’s From Fear to Freedom. A former tournament-winning professional golfer and author of three Amazon bestsellers, she now turns stories of fear, growth, and life experience into stand-up comedy.

Kalliope’s Comedy Road Trip is designed to offer audiences an upbeat night of comedy rooted in resilience, honesty, and the idea that joy can happen anywhere, at any time. Her motto captures the spirit of the show ‘Forget about your problems and laugh at mine.’

Presented in partnership with Gina Savage and West Side Comedy Club, the show promises to deliver exactly what audiences come for: a night of nonstop laughs.
