COMEDY PERFORMANCE by Kirsten Michelle Cills
Tuesday, October 10 • 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Room: Red Ballroom
Kirsten Michelle Cills is a Philly native comedian, actor, upcoming docuseries subject, and podcast host & creator. With a passion for avoiding her problems and a refusal to open a savings account, Kirsten considers herself truly blessed to be navigating her 20s as a terminally ill comic who will not live to see any consequences to her actions (though she doesn’t want to brag). Having over ten years of acting & writing for both the screen and the stage, Kirsten is driven entirely by her addiction to topics we aren’t supposed to talk about. When not correcting people’s pronunciation of her name or talking about the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2018 Super Bowl LII win, Kirsten has committed her life to creating work that provides audiences with a poignant yet macabre catharsis. Thank you to Bronze Entertainment Sponsor Community Behavioral Health!
