KELLY BACHMAN

Kelly Bachman is a writer, comedian, and producer 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, Kelly was featured in the FX/Hulu documentary, Hysterical. She recently headlined the New York Comedy Festival with her stand-up hour and debuted her new solo show at the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival. She was written up as a five-star, must-see show by FringeReview.

In 2018, Kelly was interviewed by Elle Magazine to discuss a show she produced, Rape Jokes by Survivors, which 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. The album is played over 1,000 times every day. Kelly and Dylan have performed their 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 and 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 the LA Shorts International Film Festival, and she produced a sketch variety series pilot in partnership with National Lampoon. She also hosted 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 and writer in New York for ten years.
