Amber Born Jeopardy Contestant Profile
Amber Born is an American stand-up comedian, writer, and former economic analyst based in New York City. Originally from Queens, New York, she has built a reputation for her understated stage presence, sharp observational humor, and meticulously structured writing style. Before pursuing comedy full-time, Born worked as an economic analyst, an experience that continues to shape her approach to joke construction through careful organization and analytical thinking. Her comedy focuses on everyday social interactions, mundane internal thoughts, and the absurdities of modern life, delivered with a quiet, deadpan style that audiences have described as “uncomfortably hilarious.” She is also known for performing largely clean comedy sets.
Born began her stand-up career performing extensively in the Boston and Philadelphia comedy scenes, where she developed her material before returning to New York City to establish herself as a regular performer. She has since become a frequent presence at the New York Comedy Club and other venues throughout the city. Along the way, she earned recognition as a finalist in the 2024 Boston Comedy Festival and Helium Comedy Club’s 2023 “Philly’s Phunniest” competition, while also becoming a regular featured performer at the annual Boston AAPI Comedy Festival. Early in her comedy career, she won the New Jersey Bowling Alley Comedy Contest, helping to establish her profile on the regional comedy circuit.
Her growing reputation has led to opportunities opening for several nationally recognized comedians, including Maria Bamford, Moshe Kasher, and Liz Miele. These appearances have further elevated her standing within the stand-up comedy community. In 2026, Born expanded her public profile beyond live comedy by appearing as a contestant on Jeopardy!, with her episode scheduled to air on Friday, July 3. Fans can follow her comedy career, upcoming performances, promotional flyers, and video clips through her Instagram account, @amberbornposts.
