Rebecka Green moved to the DMV in 2021 from rural Iowa with the public intention of wanting to live in a big city, and with the quiet intention of pursuing standup comedy. After a year of attending local shows and plowing through comedy podcasts, she took up the mic herself, and began appearing regularly on some of the city’s best-known stages within a short time. As the Midwest-grown daughter of a Swedish computer scientist and a religion scholar from Alabama, her on-stage presence is a distinctive combination of disarming Midwestern and dry Scandinavian humor, and her material focuses on all things family, religion, city life shenanigans, and pop culture.
