Kelly Bachman is a comedian, writer, and filmmaker based in New York City. Bachman recently performed her solo show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and her stand-up was featured in FX/Hulu’s documentary, "HYSTERICAL.” Bachman’s writing has been published by The Guardian, The New York Times, and Glamour.

Bachman’s musical comedy hour with Dylan Adler, "RAPE VICTIMS ARE HORNY TOO," headlined Joe’s Pub and earned the #2 spot on Paste’s list of the 12 Best Comedy Albums of 2022. Paste praised the album as a “hilarious, fucked-up group therapy session,” and now Bachman is bringing her “side-splittingly silly voices” and “fiery and funny” bits to a new stand-up hour, “PATRON SAINT.”

Drawing from her own experiences, including a viral encounter with infamous serial predator Harvey Weinstein, Bachman’s new hour delves into stories of virality, spirituality, and healing from trauma. Bachman is developing a scripted limited series drama, a horror comedy feature, and a comedy self-help book with similar themes. 

As a filmmaker, Kelly’s debut short film, “BOOBS,” premiered at the LA Shorts International Film Festival, and she produced a sketch variety web series, “SOFA KINGDOM,” in partnership with National Lampoon. Kelly has worked as a freelance film producer and editor for ten years.
