Panic: A Chat with Oliver Graves

Stand-up Comedian Oliver Graves brings a late-night talk show-style production to The California. In this unique hybrid format, Oliver interviews special guests live on stage — digging deep into who they are and what they do — all in front of a live audience. The show will be recorded and released for online broadcast, giving attendees a rare behind-the-scenes experience.

Oliver Graves is known as a “goth comedian” for their stark contrasting attire and signature makeup. They’ve performed across the country at clubs and festivals, including the San Francisco International Comedy Competition and The World Series of Comedy. Their stand-up was featured on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, where they received four yes votes — including from Simon Cowell — and their audition has since gone viral, with over 150 million views.
In addition to stand-up, Oliver writes the weekly “Oliver’s World” column for the Argus Courier, which was recognized by the California Journalism Awards in 2021. Their comedy leans into the dark, the dry, and the absurd — all with a distinctive voice and unforgettable presence.
