With her high voice and her innocent appearance, Brazilian-born Eliza Faria-Santos is quick to rattle the preconceptions that inevitably arise when people see her. After just a few months of performing stand-up comedy Eliza was chosen for NBC's Stand Up For Diversity and heralded by Broadcasting & Cable Magazine as someone to keep an eye on. "She made the Insider stop whining and start laughing. And as far too many people know, that ain't easy!"
Eliza Faria-Santos can be seen regularly on the NYC comedy show circuit. You've seen her in the New York Comedy Festival, comedy charity shows, MTV's stand-up showcase, NBC Stand Up for Diversity, MTV.com, and Comedy Central's "Fresh Faces of Comedy."
Eliza fluctuates between total megalomania and crippling insecurity, officially making her the world's only "Genius-Piece-of-Shit." She likes writing, performing and co-producing for "Dont Touch Me There" even more than she likes Xanax and she really, really likes Xanax.
