Julia Brandner

Julia Brandner is a stand-up comedienne, author and blogger. Raised in Graz, Kitzbühel and Innsbruck, she moved to Vienna after completing her bachelor's degree in economics. There she completed her master's degree in journalism and communication studies.

In December 2019, she dared to take the stage as a comedienne for the first time and immediately lost her heart to comedy. The show "Jokes&Popcorn", which she does together with her colleague Sonja Pikart, is one of the best-attended stand-up comedy shows in Vienna.

Julia gained greater fame through her Instagram reel series "If you talked to men like you talk to women", which was intended to make outdated role clichés visible in a humorous way. This was followed by features in the country's major magazines and newspapers, on Puls4, Austria's largest private broadcaster, and appearances as a keynote speaker at events that could use more humor and less sexism.

After the successful debut novel "Aus Rot und Blau wird Lila" her new book " Das L in Frau steht für lustig" was published in April.

Julia is passionate about comedy, cute pitbull videos and (given her content, a bit too much) German rap. In the process, she shows that you can package critical content in a funny way and that you should also laugh at yourself from time to time.
