KELLY BACHMAN

Kelly Bachman is a writer, comedian, and filmmaker from North Carolina—currently based in New York.

As a writer, Kelly has contributed to The New York Times, Glamour, The Guardian, and Reductress.

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 will debut 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. Kelly and Dylan have performed the show all over New York, including at Joe’s Pub, and they have been written up in Paste, Jezebel, The New York Times, and NowThis. Kelly an Dylan were listed #2 on Paste’s list of the 12 Best Comedy Albums of 2022, and they pitched their show as a winning project at the Yes, And…Laughter Lab.

As a filmmaker, Kelly’s debut short film, BOOBS, premiered at LA Shorts International Film Festival, and she produced a sketch variety web series, Sofa Kingdom, in partnership with National Lampoon. 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 nine years.
