From hit television shows to film, Broadway to the Sydney Opera House, - Alisha has graced every big stage and screen garnering an EMMY WIN for Lishy Lou and Lucky Too and an EMMY nomination for her role as “Facty” in Pandemic Playhouse.

Coming up: WIN! A Self-Help Masterclass and Musical Fever Dream is the unmissable solo comedy from Emmy and multi-Grammy winner Alisha Gaddis—making its world premiere at the Hollywood Fringe Festival this summer. What begins as a high-octane motivational seminar spirals into a hilariously honest takedown of perfectionism, hustle culture, and the absurdity of always needing to win. Packed with sharp storytelling, outrageous characters, and unexpected revelations—this is part theatrical spectacle, part self-help spoof, and all heart.

A classically trained performer and proud alumna of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and the Stella Adler Studio, Alisha Gaddis is a Grammy, Emmy, and Latin Grammy-winning actress, writer, and creative force. She’s appeared in national TV and voiceover campaigns, bestselling books, acclaimed films, and hit shows.

Her work has screened globally—from HollyShorts to the Heartland Film Festival, New York Fringe Festival to the Zimbabwe National Film Festival. Most recently, she won top honors at the 2024 Santa Barbara International ShortFest for Alone Together, which she wrote and starred in.

Alisha has opened for comedy legends including Drew Carey, Ray Romano, Sarah Silverman, and Maria Bamford, and headlined The Comedy Store, Gotham, and New York Comedy Club.
