## Stand-up career
Pazsitzky's first television exposure came on MTV's *Road Rules* in Australia; a booking profile describes a 1998 appearance on *Road Rules: Down Under* as the start of her career[6](https://www.wired.com/2012/06/humor-code-christina-pazsitzky/) • [8](https://mn2s.com/booking-agency/talent-roster/christina-pazsitzky/). She became a writer and round-table regular on E!'s *Chelsea Lately*, hosted the FX series *The Hitchhiker Chronicles*, and did writing and voice work on projects including the film *TV: The Movie* and the animated series *Trolls*[6](https://www.wired.com/2012/06/humor-code-christina-pazsitzky/). The Laugh Factory biography adds that she was a regional finalist on seasons six and seven of NBC's *Last Comic Standing*, performed for troops in the Middle East, Africa, and South Korea, and received an Up and Coming Writer Award in *Animation Magazine*[3](https://www.laughfactory.com/comedians/ChristinaPazsitzky).
Her debut Netflix one-hour special, *Christina P: Mother Inferior*, premiered in 2017 and was filmed in front of a packed house at The Showbox in Seattle; the special covers the taboos of motherhood, her rage toward her husband during the birth of their child, her own childhood, and generational observations about millennials and Gen X[4](https://media.netflix.com/en/only-on-netflix/80205204). Her second one-hour special, *Christina P: Mom Genes*, was released on May 8, 2022, and examines parenting and partnering through what her website calls a no-nonsense Gen-X lens; coverage followed in outlets including *The Los Angeles Times* and Forbes[2](https://christinap.com/pages/about) • [9](https://hightimes.com/culture/christina-p-knows-the-secret-to-dirty-humor/). A half-hour special shot in Las Vegas in 2018 appears on the Netflix series *The Degenerates*[2](https://christinap.com/pages/about).
In interviews she describes her comedic aim as honesty rather than persona. "I have no tolerance for a fake act," she told Cincinnati CityBeat in 2016, citing [Janeane Garofalo](https://www.edgepedia.org/janeane-garofalo), Roseanne Barr, and [Howard Stern](https://www.edgepedia.org/howard-stern) as influences[10](https://www.citybeat.com/arts/christina-pazsitzky-explores-farts-and-philosophy-12226849/). She has also resisted the label "girl comic," telling WIRED in 2012 that her comedy is "raw, witty and unexpected, pure unisex hilarity"[6](https://www.wired.com/2012/06/humor-code-christina-pazsitzky/).
## Podcasting
*Your Mom's House*, launched in October 2010, is hosted with Tom Segura and is described on her website as a top-rated comedy podcast on iTunes with what she calls cult-like status[2](https://christinap.com/pages/about). An academic study of women comedians' video podcasting characterizes Pazsitzky and Segura as pioneers of video podcast comedy[11](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/365440671_Women_Comedians%27_Video_Podcasting_on_YouTube_How_Complex_Authenticity_Cultivates_Fans). She also hosts *Where My Moms At?*, a podcast about motherhood[5](https://www.triggerpod.co.uk/p/ask-christina-p-a-question). The couple built the network YMH Studios around these shows[7](https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/netflix-comedian-tom-segura-breaks-silence-on-horrible-divorce/).
## Personal life
Pazsitzky married Tom Segura in 2008; the two met as young stand-ups on the Los Angeles comedy scene, and she has described their early years as poor, living in Silver Lake and marrying with $200 between them[7](https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/netflix-comedian-tom-segura-breaks-silence-on-horrible-divorce/) • [12](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2026-08-05/christina-pazsitzky-details-extremely-sad-divorce-from-tom-segura). They have two sons, Ellis, born in 2016, and Julian, born in 2018[7](https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/netflix-comedian-tom-segura-breaks-silence-on-horrible-divorce/).
In 2026 the couple confirmed a divorce after nearly twenty years of marriage. On an episode of *Your Mom's House*, Pazsitzky told guest host [Duncan Trussell](https://www.edgepedia.org/duncan-trussell) that the split was "extremely sad," that they had tried to work things out for several years for the sake of their children, and that the divorce was amicable[13](https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/christina-pazsitzky-fights-back-tears-discussing-extremely-sad-divorce-from-tom-segura/). Segura said the two had been recording separate episodes for a long time, and both indicated they would continue working together on the podcast[7](https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/netflix-comedian-tom-segura-breaks-silence-on-horrible-divorce/).
## Education and other work
Pazsitzky studied philosophy. Cincinnati CityBeat reports that she graduated from [San Francisco State University](https://www.edgepedia.org/san-francisco-state-university) with a bachelor's degree in philosophy[10](https://www.citybeat.com/arts/christina-pazsitzky-explores-farts-and-philosophy-12226849/), while the Laugh Factory biography states she studied philosophy at the [University of Oxford](https://www.edgepedia.org/university-of-oxford) and attended law school for two weeks[3](https://www.laughfactory.com/comedians/ChristinaPazsitzky). She has connected the discipline to her comedy, telling podcast host [Ryan Holiday](https://www.edgepedia.org/ryan-holiday) that comedians should study philosophy in college[14](https://ivy.fm/tag/christina-pazsitzky).
Beyond comedy she runs the cosmetics brand Christina P. Cosmetics, sold through her website[7](https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/netflix-comedian-tom-segura-breaks-silence-on-horrible-divorce/) • [2](https://christinap.com/pages/about). She narrated the documentary *Can We Take a Joke?*, which examines whether political correctness is limiting comedy and frank social conversation[10](https://www.citybeat.com/arts/christina-pazsitzky-explores-farts-and-philosophy-12226849/).
