Chandra Diviacchi

Comedian & singer-songwriter

In her comedy set Good Vibes Girl, she recalls dancing in a New Jersey park when Gene Kelly and his brother Fred spotted her and invited her to dance with them.

Today she sings, writes songs, plays guitar and performs stand-up. Her recordings range from the hip-hop single RapDiva, released in December 2021, to the blues single Slackers, released the following March. Away from the stage, she volunteered in the emergency department at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC.

Onstage, a walk with her big, easily startled dog Shadow can turn into a song about an outlaw and her fearless sidekick. For Swish and Sway, Chandra performs four songs she co-wrote with Michael Jamell, trades sketches with her husband Giovanni, and joins Ron Deonauth to sing “God Bless the Child.”
