Kelli Dunham and Working with Humour

Kelli Dunham is the nonbinary ex-nun storytelling nurse comedian so common in modern Brooklyn. Kelli has appeared on Showtime and the Discovery Channel, PBS Stories From the Stage, the Moth Mainstage, NPR, nationwide at colleges, prides, fundraisers, oh so many nursing conferences and even the occasional livestock auction. Kelli's award-winning but dubiously named Second Helping: Two Dead Lovers, Dead Funny was called "a love letter to the power of community" by the Bechdel Theater, and "drop dead funny" by Go Magazine, was featured in last year's Edinburgh Fringe and is touring internationally. Kelli was one of the faces of nonbinary fashion prominently featured in the recent New York Times piece on nonbinary people in the workplace. This is true even though no one before that time (or since) has ever accused Kelli of being fashionable. Kelli is the author of seven hilarious nonfiction books about not humorous subjects including puberty, grief and death and you can hear Kelli chat with an eclectic group of guests about these very subjects as well as LGBT health, caregiving, mutual aid, and knock-knock jokes on her forthcoming podcast Second Helping. Former NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio once called Kelli a show off.
