Presently, Maija has a residency at the Hollywood Improv and radio show on Dash Comedy Radio—both entitled “The Maija Show”. Her most recent comedy album, “How I learned to Stop Slut Shaming & Love the Hoe” is available on iTunes. She is currently working on her upcoming comedy special “IncogNegro”.
