Kristen can most recently be seen co-hosting Maria Menounos’ AfterbuzzTV.com and is a host for a new independent music webseries, Music Pump Unsigned. She has also been featured on Comedy Central’s Atom TV and a special one-hour series on TLC.
Born in Upstate New York and raised in the community’s performing arts, Kristen has loved being on stage since she was 10. As a dancer, Kristen traveled the world performing at venues like Euro Disney. But, before her days as a dancer at 3 years old, she had unknowingly gotten into comedy when her eyes began to cross. Kristen put her desire to perform together with memories as a kid with a lazy eye and began performing stand up comedy in 2008.
Since then, her work has been featured on Deadline.com, Atom.com, Comedy Central, TLC, Someecards, Splitsider and Funny Not Slutty. She is the author of the piercingly insightful blog “Sweat the Small Stuff with Kristen” and humor column “Carney’s Comedy.”
She’s performed on stages across the country from clubs like the Improv to college campuses. She was the runner-up in Chicago´s “Laughing in the Loop” and made it from 64 comedians to the Elite 8 in Los Angeles’ 2011 March Comedy Madness.
Kristen’s dry sense of humor, charisma and good looks have her host credentials growing at a rapid rate. Along with several web shows, Kristen has been brought on board to host several pilots being produced by independent industry professionals. In the coming weeks, she’s looking forward to welcoming Adam Carolla to her Afterbuzz TV podcast and interviewing the up and coming band, Nude.
You can find Kristen at “Comedy Without a Cause,” a monthly stand up show she co-created and co-hosts in Hollywood. For more information on Kristen’s whereabouts, just check in a movie theater or a public restroom… she’s probably there.
