From radio waves to comedy stages, Lexis Shardé is a dynamic performer with a mic and a mission—to make people laugh, think, and sing along.
Lexis’s creative voice blends stand-up, musical parody, and character impressions, drawing on her background in film, broadcasting, and improv. She’s written and produced short films, hosted music and comedy series, and appeared in everything from reality TV to sketch comedy to viral videos.
As a co-writer and filmmaker for The Comedy Show—selected for the 2024 Palm Springs International Comedy Festival—her performance earned high praise from comedian and judge Ahmed Ahmed, who called her set “the best of the evening.”
Her comedic chops have taken her across the country to top venues including The Comedy Store, The Improv, Flappers, Rick Bronson’s House of Comedy, Harvey’s Comedy Club, and Don’t Tell Comedy Phoenix.
She’s a finalist of the 2019 Portland Comedy Festival, a first-round winner at the 2021 Cactus Comedy Classic, and has opened for acts like Sam Miller, Lucas Dick, and Brandon Broady. A performer with a deep love for music, she also brings parody songs into her set—combining stand-up with melody in ways that surprise and delight.
Broadway’s Steffanie Leigh returns to Ashland High School's Theatre to premiere a new solo cabaret about her lifelong relationship with her voice.Before the stages, before the lights, before anyone was watching—there was just a girl in a living room, singing for the sake of singing.This one-woman tour de force traces the winding, complicated, and deeply human relationship between a performer and her voice. The voice that carried her from a high school stage to Broadway and beyond. The voice that held her dreams, her fears, her need to be extraordinary. And the voice that, at times, she tried to change, control, or silence altogether.Told through a collection of songs that have shaped her and personal stories from her life, this is a story about ambition, identity, and what happens when achievement stops feeling like enough. Performed on the very stage where it all began, and featuring special appearances by beloved mentors and the next generation of performers, this one-night-only event is both a homecoming and a reckoning.
