Maria isn’t just any comedian; she’s a force of nature. With a degree from UNATC and five years treading the boards of independent theatre, she took a leap of faith into the world of stand-up. And boy, did she land on her feet! In 2016, Maria became the first woman to win the renowned iUmor competition, etching her name in the annals of comedy history.
