Caitlin Comeskey: Comedy, Poker, and the Courage to Change the Game
Caitlin Comeskey, a PokerStars ambassador, draws a clear connection between comedy and poker, both requiring courage and comfort with failure. She served as the emcee of the NAPT Comedy Night at the PokerStars North American Poker Tour 2025.
Comeskey believes that being fun to play with is an important part of being a poker ambassador, drawing from her background in theater and comedy. She sees personality and presence as essential parts of the game, not just for entertainment value but for what they bring to the player experience.
Comeskey advocates for more women in poker, seeing it as an untapped market with benefits like risk management, fearlessness, and networking. She praises Victoria Livschitz's Pocket Queens community for providing a network and platform for women in poker. Comeskey admits that modern media demands can be frustrating, as her content is targeted to a niche audience and she values quality over quantity.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
