- Christina Pazsitzky has signed with The Oriel for public relations, with agency co-founder Carleen Donovan leading the account.
- She continues to be represented by William Morris Endeavor (WME) for comedy bookings.
- The signing lands days after Pazsitzky publicly confirmed her divorce from husband and "Your Mom's House" co-host Tom Segura after 20 years together.
- She's touring behind her Netflix specials "Mother Inferior" and "Mom Genes," with stops including Chicago this September.
Christina Pazsitzky has added The Oriel to her representation team for public relations. Agency co-founder Carleen Donovan will lead the account; Donovan is based in New York and also represents clients including The Roots and Maroon 5.
The Oriel was founded in 2021 by Carleen Donovan, Chloë Walsh, and Jen Appel, and operates out of New York, Los Angeles, and Nashville with a roster spanning Grammy-winning musicians, Emmy-winning actors, and major brands.
Pazsitzky, known professionally as Christina P, co-hosts the long-running “Your Mom’s House” podcast and also hosts “Where My Moms At?”
Her stand-up credits include the Netflix specials “Christina P: Mother Inferior,” “The Degenerates,” and “Christina P: Mom Genes,” and she’s previously performed at Just For Laughs, Sketchfest, and the Aspen Comedy Festival. She’s currently back on the road, with tour dates in Chicago set for September 18 and 19.
The timing is notable: the signing comes just days after Pazsitzky confirmed her split from fellow comedian Tom Segura in an emotional moment on their shared podcast, telling listeners she and Segura had 20 amazing years together and that the divorce is amicable.
Pazsitzky isn’t the only comedy or entertainment name formalizing PR infrastructure this year. Emma Brooks McAllister’s move to Huxley and GK Barry’s signing with Impressive PR both reflect a similar pattern of talent building out standalone press teams as their careers expand beyond a single platform.
Takeaways
A very public divorce is exactly the kind of moment that makes a dedicated publicist worth having, and the timing here doesn’t look coincidental.
Donovan’s roster already leans music-heavy (Maroon 5, The Roots), so picking up a comedy-podcast heavyweight like Pazsitzky broadens The Oriel’s footprint into stand-up and talk-format talent.
Keeping WME for comedy bookings while adding standalone PR suggests Pazsitzky is separating her touring business from her media narrative at a moment when both need careful handling.
Does this signing signal Pazsitzky is preparing new projects separate from the “Your Mom’s House” brand? Will The Oriel’s music-industry connections open new crossover opportunities for her, like specials, tours, or brand deals? Could this be the start of Pazsitzky building out a solo media identity independent of her long-running partnership with Segura?
