RESUME

Ajahnis Charley (they/them/that b*tch) is a Black, Non-Binary comedian and is the Just For Laughs’ New Face of Comedy: Canada. Well, one of ten. But look how pretty they are!

They are an alum of The Second City and they star in the HBO miniseries Station Eleven and Bell Media sitcom Shelved. They’ve written for comedians Craig Robinson and Roman Martinez-Reid, and they have story edited for upcoming comedy series Bria Mack Gets A Life, Stay Tooned, Dirts. Ajahnis writes for news satire platforms This Hour Has 22 Minutes, The Beaverton and Because News. If you hear a pun about butts in Canadian media, they likely had something to do with it.

The National Film Board produced Ajahnis' award-winning directorial debut, I AM GAY. Spoiler alert: they are gay. Their hit solo sketch show THOTS & PRAYERS has been performed internationally, and their 2023 sketch show Wanted won Best of the Fest at Montreal Sketchiest. Ajahnis is a co-founder and co-producer of the Untitled Black Sketch Project, Canada's first all-Black sketch ensemble, unless Joe Pesci wants to join. Ajahnis is obsessed with Joe Pesci.
