Stand-up comedy career

Beginnings in Austin and move to Los Angeles

Michelle Biloon began her stand-up comedy career after moving to Austin, Texas, following her college education. She started performing at open mics at The Velveeta Room on Sixth Street in late 1999 or early 2000, with her first set taking place in February 2000, where she did well enough to encourage her continuation in comedy. She performed stand-up in Austin until her relocation to Los Angeles in 2004. During this early period in Austin, Biloon toured as the opening act for comedians including Maria Bamford and Patton Oswalt. In 2004, she relocated to Los Angeles to pursue greater opportunities in the comedy scene, initially staying with comedian Maria Bamford upon her arrival during a time of significant growth in alternative comedy. She would later move to Philadelphia, where she is now based.

Relocation to Philadelphia and ongoing work

After taking a hiatus from stand-up comedy following the birth of her child (during which she stopped performing), Michelle Biloon relocated to Philadelphia, where she resumed her career and remains based. Her first performance after the move was an open mic at Helium Comedy Club in March 2014. She continues her stand-up career there, performing regularly at local clubs and maintaining an active presence in the city's comedy scene. Biloon has performed at comedy clubs and festivals across the United States, in addition to one appearance at an army base in Germany, which she later described humorously by saying it "wasn’t that great so forget I mentioned it." Recent activity includes scheduled performances as a guest at venues such as Helium Comedy Club in Philadelphia, underscoring her ongoing engagement with live stand-up in the area. Her official profiles and website consistently list Philadelphia as her current home base.
