Silly and Sassy: A Conversation with Comedian Genivive Clinton

Self-described as a “Black Woman, Spirit, Gentle Heart, rising comedic voice and sociological enthusiast,” Genivive Clinton shares stories of truck driving, humor, silliness, and the everlasting balancing act between comedy and mental health.

One of the hottest up-and-coming comedians in the country, Genivive has opened for Joe Rogan, Duncan Trussell, Neal Brennan, Tim Dillon, Ron White, and many other top headliners. From the East Side of Detroit, she combines her unique perspective with her killer punchlines to make audiences everywhere laugh.
