Marina Rollman (Born on 9th August 1988 in Geneva) is a Swiss comedian.

She studied architecture and then classical literature in Switzerland and in Paris. She has been inspired by Jerry Seinfeld’s show “I’m telling you for the last time” which triggered her passion for comedy. In 2009, she takes part in a comedy contest in Paris in front of some professionals but it’s a complete failure. She then takes on different jobs including in her father’s advertising company, as a waitress in a food truck and as baby-sitter for Natalie Portman. In 2013, she tries her luck again as a stand-up comedian. In the same year she presents her first open mic in Switzerland then, chronicles on the radio and television. In 2014 and 2015, she follows up with web-series, shows and her participation at the Montreux Comedy festival and the Jamel Comedy Club but also performs the openings of Gad Elmaleh’s show.

At a time when a new generation of feminist comedians emerges, associating irony and tender dark humour, she succeeds in making her way through, recognizable thanks to her voice often described as the voice of a “mischievous” child or of a “fishmonger” according to opinions.

Since 2016, she has regularly been taking part on Sundays in the show Les Beaux Parleurs on RTS La Première. Since September 2017, she has been presenting a weekly comic chronicle in the show La Bande originale hosted by Nagui on France Inter.

She has been performing on stage since 2017 and since 2019, at the Théatre de l’oeuvre in Paris, presenting her stand-up show “Spectacle drôle”, widely praised by the French and Swiss critics.
