Kerri Pomarolli grew up performing from a young age and got her B.F.A. in Musical theater from University of Michigan. She also attended Stella Adler Conservatory in NYC and British American Drama Academy in London.
She moved to LA and had roles on soaps such as Port Charles, General Hospital, Young and the Restless and a few parts in movies and sitcoms.
Kerri was attracting big hitters in the industry. She came to Hollywood searching out that one role that would make her famous but found compromising her faith was not worth a star on the Walk of Fame. One night after much prayer it was apparent that God had other plans for her, Pomarolli was to do stand up. She was led to her first gig, of all places, at the world-famous Hollywood Improv. Although she performed in front of a very secular crowd, Pomarolli was the only performer asked to come back. That was 18 years ago and Kerri has become one of "Hollywood’s biggest Christian Spokespeople" ever since.
Kerri was named one of LA’s Most Inspiring People by LA Voyage Magazine and Comedian of the Year by The Hollywood Red Letter Awards in 2022.

She has been featured on many TV shows discussing her faith in Hollywood. Kerri has appeared on just about every major network and has a featured act at LA’s Hottest Comedy Clubs. She's passionate about her faith and has been featured on CNN News as A Christian in Hollywood and TBN, CBN, Hour of Power and others.

TRAVELS FROM CALIFORNIA
Booking Kerri was the best decision we could have made. Kerri is a great comedian. Not a great "Christian" comedian. Not a great "female" comedian. She is simply a great comedian. . We booked her specifically for a Mother's Day event, but singles and even guys all enjoyed her material. And by enjoyed, I mean laughed uncontrollably until tears ran down their cheeks. I couldn't imagine booking anyone better. Kerri also has the ability to read a room and give them exactly what they need. We booked her for three services and each service, she read the energy of the room and brought them along to match her rhythm. That is a veteran skill that is truly rare. There is also a spiritual component to that, where she can speak to a whole room and individuals feel like she is bringing restoration to them personally. She under-promised and over-delivered. If you want a successful event, make Kerri a part of it. Do your organization and yourself a favor and book her now!
