Travina Springer is wasting no time making her mark in Hollywood as an actor and comedian. She is a refreshing, down-to-earth dose of optimism and positivity, while at the same time exuding that spark and passion that has made her instantly recognizable on the screen. Last year she made her debut in the Marvel Universe for her role in Ms. Marvel, one of the franchise’s most ambitiously diverse pieces to date. She can currently be seen in NBC’s hit show, The Irrational, renewed for season 2, holding her own opposite the show’s star, Jesse L. Martin.
Comedy has been a constant in Travina’s life. She’s been a member of UCB Comedy, performed in the CBS Diversity Sketch Comedy Showcase, her stand-up was featured on the reboot of BET’s Comic View, and she’s taken the stage at powerhouses like Flappers, The Comedy Store, and The Ice House. She uses her comedy to bring up social themes that play a big part in her life. She is a shining star on the rise.
In this super fun chat, we talk about her moving around a lot as a kid, the power of comedy, the hot topic of free speech in comedy, being part of the Marvel Universe, her conversion to Islam and the role that spirituality plays in her everyday life, what it’s like to be part of NBC’s The Irrational (her first major, primetime show), and more.
Hosted by Alexander Rodriguez. @alexanderisonair
