Liliana Velásquez & Chris Davis

We are the things that others fear. Remember that. – Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat

Liliana Velasquez Montoya is a performer (dancer, comedian, sex worker, writer) currently based in the city of Berlin. She was born a creative fiery spirit, into a traditional Colombian family. The first of 5 children she dreamed of leaving her wonderful, beautiful caring catholic home, to explore and be on her own (relatively) wild self-discovery. In her twenties, she moved to NYC to pursue Fashion, but life is not always what we plan. Thru the adventurous streets, galleries, museums, clubs, and excitement of NYC, she found that her creativity was being fuelled thru dance, theater, painting, modeling, and finding her voice in stand-up comedy. Facing the challenges of regular everyday life. The artist in the grind.

Liliana started doing comedy back in 2008 in New York City! She produced Hail to the V @ Dixon Place Theater and Lil’Chewy comedy @ The Producers Club in Times Square. Serendipitously she moved to Berlin to model for a photographer and found this city to become a new home! At the time, the Berlin stand-up scene had only one open mic and a very international feeling. She contributed to the growth of the comedy scene by producing many successful shows like Balls to the Wall, Pussy Powered Protest, Sex Gods & Hysteria, Suitcase Stability,… and produces the longest-running weekly open stage SUNDAY SLIPS! Every Sunday, no matter what! That includes a worldwide pandemic, never give up, never surrender. Liliana shares her love, aches, and her transformation into an independent-thinking woman. She is proud to be queer and not perfect and enjoys waking up in the afternoon.

Liliana has toured in many European cities: Krakow, Warsaw, Budapest, Helsinki, German towns, Luxembourg, Brussels, other German cities, Amsterdam, Prague, Brno, Zurich, Edinburgh. Asian cities such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, In South Africa: Capetown & Johannesburg
