Erica Seff
Erica is a Los Angeles-based stand-up, writer, and friend. While completing an MFA in screenwriting at Depaul University, she became invested in Chicago's indie comedy and film scene. She has produced and performed on stages such as The Second City, IO Chicago, and Zanies. As a director, she has been described as someone people want to work with. She strives to facilitate space that upholds diversity in voice, promotes inclusion, and creates room for women not only in front of the camera but also behind it. In her writing, Erica finds humor and humanity in the flawed and outrageous. At her first open mic, she was the only comic there; unknowingly she signed up for a musician's open mic. Nonetheless, she got on stage.
Kelsey Healey
Kelsey is a Los Angeles-based writer who has written just about anything and everything; outside of a manifesto. She recently completed her studies in screenwriting via Depaul’s MFA program. Her experience on stage includes sketch comedy, improv, and stand-up. She grew up watching Comedy Central half hours and SNL at way too young an age, which ultimately led to her passion for comedy and storytelling. In her work, she likes to poke fun at the fame-obsessed, unhealthy nature of entertainment, and challenge the notion women aren’t funny. Her first open mic was at her high school's coffee house and it might be her most successful one to this day.
