Kelly Vrooman

Hi! I'm Kelly Vrooman, a comedic actor/writer who The New York Times called "a master class in rapid-fire comedy." Most recently, I appeared on ABC's Black-ish and Grey's Anatomy, and perform weekly at UCB with my improv Harold team, Ghost.  I'm often described as having a "sassy mom energy" and to that I say, thank you. 

I wrote and starred in the short film, Rekindled, that screened at 12 Oscar-Qualifying festivals and won 16 awards, including Best Film, Best Writer, and Best Actress.

​

I was a staffed writer on NBCKids' The Chica Show and am currently a lead writer for the animated series, The Tuttle Twins. My feature script, Emergency Contact, was a semi-finalist (top 1%) in the 2021 Blue Cat screenplay competition and my original sketch comedy videos have garnered 50 million views and counting.

​

My improv duo, Laurelly (with Lauren Pritchard), holds the record for most wins at the legendary improv Cagematch at iOWest in Hollywood with 69 straight weeks.

​

I'm a Kennedy Center Irene Ryan acting scholarship nominee, Thomas Angel Foundation Women in Comedy finalist, and a "Best TV Host" Kids Screen Award winner for my work hosting The Sunny Side Up Show on Sprout/Universal Kids.
