I’m super excited to be in the Isthmus today!  This is the biggest piece anyones put…eh done on me!  So excited!  

Dina Nina Martinez has had to come out a lot: as a gay man, a trans woman, a comedian and, finally, as a wannabe soccer mom.

After leaving her home in rural Texas, Martinez bounced around to different cities, eventually landing in Los Angeles, where she spent a decade working comedy clubs. Three years ago, she relocated to Madison, where she brings a fresh voice to the burgeoning queer comedy scene. She travels a lot, doing standup at clubs and festivals, and hosts a monthly comedy showcase at Plan B called Alphabet Soup.

Her work is receiving national attention. In 2014, AfterEllen.com named Martinez one of “40 Hot Queer Women in Comedy.”

On May 30 and 31, Martinez will perform her one-woman show, Confessions of a Wannabe Soccer Mom: An Unconventional Journey into Womanhood, at Willy Street’s iconic Broom Street Theater.
