Comedy Night at Celebrations: Fiona Cauley

Fiona Cauley is a Nashville-based stand-up comedian and one of the most exciting voices in comedy today.

A frequent guest and Golden Ticket winner on Kill Tony, Fiona has built a reputation for dark, punchline-heavy stand-up that turns real-life experiences into bold, crowd-ready jokes. She is a regular at Zanies Comedy Club in Nashville, a familiar face at Austin’s Comedy Mothership, and a touring headliner performing to sold-out rooms across the country.

At 18, Fiona was diagnosed with Friedreich ataxia (FA), a rare genetic neurological condition. Her journey from walking unaided to using mobility aids and eventually a wheelchair became part of her life, and later, part of her voice on stage. Rather than avoiding the topic, Fiona addresses it head-on with humor that disarms audiences and reshapes how disability is talked about in comedy.

Her stand-up isn’t about inspiration. It’s about honesty.

Fiona has toured with Nikki Glaser, appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and spoke at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity in France. Offstage, she’s built an enormous following online, connecting with hundreds of thousands of fans who appreciate her unfiltered perspective and fearless delivery.

You can find Fiona rolling through a comedy club near you or, occasionally, a local hotdog stand
