Kandace Saunders at Church of Satire

Growing up on the outskirts of Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD., Kandace Saunders decided she’d rather tell jokes than play with ordnance. At ten years old, Kandace began writing and performing stand up comedy routines on the playground in her neighborhood. For years, Kandace entertained classmates, friends, and family. Then one day, acting on words scribbled by a stranger in a homemade yearbook, Kandace decided to try stand up comedy. Kandace Saunders made her comedic debut in 2006 during a comedy competition at the DC Improv. Although, she didn’t win, she didn’t get booed, and people laughed. So for Kandace, that was enough to pursue a career in standup comedy. Kandace’s sarcasm, and quick wit, coupled with her ability to turn life into “extremely laughable situations”, has allowed her to become one of today’s fastest rising comedians. You can catch Kandace at comedy clubs and colleges across the country.
