As a comedian and comedy producer, Kelly was featured in the FX/Hulu documentary, Hysterical. She recently headlined the New York Comedy Festival with her hour and debuted her new solo show, Patron Saint, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Kelly was interviewed by Elle Magazine to discuss her other show, Rape Jokes by Survivors, which also headlined the New York Comedy Festival.

From that showcase came Kelly and Dylan Adler’s musical comedy duo hour, Rape Victims Are Horny Too, which was released as an album with Comedy Dynamics.

She also released a podcast with National Lampoon! Kelly’s various sketches and shorts have played comedy festivals, including Sketchfest, and have been featured in publications such as Huffington Post.

Oh, and one time a show producer invited an infamous serial rapist to watch Kelly perform stand-up comedy. Someone taped Kelly’s set that night and shared it, so Kelly talked to CNN, etc.

When Kelly is not producing her own projects or performing, she supports other artists. Kelly has worked as a freelance filmmaker, editor, and copywriter in New York for ten years.
