welcome!
Petey J. Gibson (Transparent, Grace & Frankie, Broad City) is a trans comedian, writer, and Groundlings-trained character performer based in Los Angeles. Currently on the festival circuit on indie feature The Sympathy Card (and recent recipient of the Audience Award at Dances with Films), Petey is also working on a wide range of projects including entertainment for kids through Story Pirates, pre-production work on a feature, and several collaborative queer projects being readied for television pitch.
FOR THIS TIME OF SOCIAL DISTANCING, Petey's putting all his entertaining efforts into the most wonderful, sweet folks he can think of- little kids! Check out his half hour movement/funtime video, HOMEBODIES, to help kids get motivated (or shake out their chaos energy) and give parents a niiiice half hour to sit alone in a quiet room: Like homebodies? gratefully accepting donations through venmo: @Petey-gibson

"Just as Wiig and McCarthy typify a new brand of... performer, whose humor is broad and daring and whose films flout Hollywood stereotypes by valuing friendship and self-fulfillment over romance, Gibson represents an even more radical breed of comedian. He* defies easy classification, in terms of both gender and genre. Is he a drag performer? A character actor? A stand-up? An improviser? Petey's ambiguous presentation and willingness to toy with gender make him at once subversive and versatile." -WBUR.org

other things if you need em
As a writer/creator, Petey co-wrote, co-produced and starred in the hit webseries Meals with Mary, a Dame Edna-meets-Ina Garten comedy cooking show, based around irreverent 86-year-old vaudevillian character, Mary Dolan. He's recently finished a pilot, THEM, centered around two trans/nonbinary artists in Los Angeles, as well as wrote and starred in Somerville, about a group of Massholes looking for redemption, love, and wicked good pahties.
As a live performer, you can catch Petey in stand-up and improv shows around town, or as the host of The Mary Dolan Show, a comedic variety show that is a "heroic defiance of good taste" (Weekly Dig). Described by NPR as “fearless onstage… subversive and versatile”, Petey is an enigmatic live performer, and pretty darn cute to boot.
