Motor City Comedy Festival Presents: EMILY WILSON (from FIXED: How I Got REJECTED by Reality TV, a show about her time on The X Factor)

Motor City Comedy Festival is proud to present a one-night-only performance from the incomparable Emily Wilson at Ant Hall in Hamtramck!

Emily Wilson is a comedian, actress, and writer based in New York. Her debut comedy special Fixed: How I Got Rejected by Reality TV was featured in the New York Times and garnered millions of organic views across YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. She hosts the sold-out weekly show Tuesdays at the Red Room in the East Village, tours alongside Please Don’t Destroy as a featured performer and was the only American nominated for the esteemed Best Newcomer award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2022. She will be performing at Moontower Comedy Festival 2026 in Austin, Texas.

Motor City Comedy Festival is a non-profit organization that gives comedians from around the world the opportunity to network, learn and practice their craft. We pair some of the biggest stand ups anywhere with the next generation of comedy greats to create lineups our audiences will never forget. Much more than that, we want to foster a community of funny people and provide them with the chance to get better, increase their network and gain exposure to industry professionals.
