Kelsie Huff

After graduating from Columbia College Chicago in 2002 Huff was accepted into the Second City Conservatory where she graduated AND met Amy Sumpter and formed the two women sketch comedy team Children of the Absurd. Their signature show titled 10% Less Fat focused on the absurdity of female body image and was performed all over the Midwest. In 2005 Huff wrote and produced her acclaimed one woman show, HUFFS, which explored the struggle to find forgiveness in one dysfunctional family tree. The show was directed by Jason Madeja (Columbia College Chicago 02’). HUFFS was staged at the Royal George Theatre, Dairy Center for the Performing Arts, and Memorial Hall Theatre. Huffs was voted best in C.R.A.B and given four out of four stars at the 2008 Boulder International Fridge Festival. Kelsie's second one woman show, BRUISER: Tales from a Traumatized Tomboy, was staged at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art and Gorilla Tango Theatre, and recieved 4 out of 4 stars in the Chicago Stage Review. Kelsie can currently be seen performing stand-up around Chicagoland. She is jazzed to head up the all lady comedy showcase, the kates, at The Book Cellar in Lincoln Square and is stoked to be the co-producer and performer of Stardust Showcase, sparkly stand-up at Undergound Lounge in Wrigleyville.
