A comedic force behind and in front of the camera, Kelly Landry has quickly established herself as one of the go-to storytellers for the digital generation. She served as showrunner on YOUR DAILY HOROSCOPE, an animated comedy series from WIll Arnett and ATTN: The series was Quibi’s number one daily show and got renewed for a second season just before the platform closed.
Kelly recently served as showrunner and director on an educational sketch comedy series for Snap Originals and Propagate titled CIVICS. in 2019 she was head writer and director for the comedy series, STARTER PACK, which the New York Times reviewed as a “bright and poppy fictional series that reads like an aesthetic mash-up of Instagram videos and MTV reality shows,” and deemed it one of the best shows streaming on Facebook Watch.
Prior to STARTER PACK, Kelly wrote, co-directed and produced AT&T Hello Lab’s 2017 venture, GUILTY PARTY, a multi-platform digital series that then aired as a feature on DirectTV Now. The show blew past industry benchmarks garnering over 65 million views across four platforms. In 2016, Kelly executive produced the interactive digital series THE DISAPPEARING GIRL starring influencer Collins Key and Chris Redd, and Kelly served as showrunner for Grace Helbig’s latest digital endeavor, WRITING WITH GRACE. Both shows picked up Streamy Awards for Best Branded Series, and Helbig’s project culminated into a live stage show at Vidcon— which Kelly directed— attracting an audience of over 3000. Additionally, Kelly wrote and directed sketches for Nickelodeon’s NIGHT OF THE LIVING FRED starring influencer Fred Figglehorn, with John Cena and Ariel Winter.
As a performer and stand-up, Kelly first gained a following while writing and hosting the YouTube series, TOP 6, which garnered over 40 million views. She wrote 100 episodes of EQUALS THREE for Ray William Johnson and was a member of his sketch team BOOZE LIGHTYEAR. She then honed her sketch writing/acting chops as a regular sketch player on truTV’s HOW TO BE A GROWNUP. She’s been a comedian talking head for shows on the CW and ABC, and her stand-up comedy can be seen on Hulu’s COMING TO THE STAGE.
