At age nine, Comeau's interest in acting began when she started doing impersonations of
Dana Carvey's character Garth from
Wayne's World. She studied at
Humber College (in their Comedy Program) and with the
Second City Conservatory. She is an alumna of the prestigious Second City Toronto mainstage where she wrote and starred in three revues. These reviews garnered her a Dora nomination and Canadian Comedy Award nominations. She would win Best Ensemble at the 2019 Canadian Comedy Awards for being part of Second City's first all-female-identifying revue
She The People.
She The People would go on to headline Just for Laughs in Montreal and was a part of Mirvish's 2020 subscription year. She continues to act and tour with her sketch troupe The Lusty Mannequins. She co-founded The Lusty Mannequins with her partner Connor Thompson. The Lustys also includes Karen Parker and Alastair Forbes; all four of the troupe are Second City mainstage alumni.
