Candice Thompson

Candice Thompson was born in NY, raised in Cincinnati and currently lives in LA. She’s a unique blend of the East and West coasts with a hint of Mid-West street cred. Candice has been making people laugh since she was a kid. She was offered her first stand-up job at the age of 8, after her involuntary antics resulted in a room full of adults spitting out their dinners in laughter. At this point Candice knew she had a decision to make; hone her comedic talents…or become the U.S.A’s first Olympic food-spitting coach. Based on advice from her Barbie, she decided to coach. During her team U.S.A stint, Candice helped athletes strengthen their tongues, salivate on command, and chew their food into balls. She also patented, what is known today as, the “Super Cheek Muscle Chuck”. After 13 years of failing to make food-spitting an Olympic sport, and a fatal choking incident, Candice Thompson was sent to prison. It was during lock down that she rediscovered her true calling…comedy. Ever since parole, you may have seen Candice performing at such venues as the Comedy Store, Hollywood Improv, and Pasadena Ice House where she can make people choke on their food without getting arrested.
