“Emily Chodan scores big laughs as nosey secretary Roz Keith...”

As an avid lover of all things expressive, I have devoted my life to creativity. Whether that is painting abstract works of art, performing on stage and screen, pursuing comedy in all its glorious forms, dancing or belting out musical theatre, I am always seeking opportunities to flex my artistic muscles. I am currently based in New York City and can most likely be found exploring central park in my spare time, grabbing sushi with friends or at the movie theatre!
As an actor, I enjoy making imaginative choices in my work. I am excellent at bringing absurd and flawed characters to life while pursuing their motivations to a hysterical but authentic level. Inspired by female comedians before me such as Gilda Radner, Carol Burnett, Catherine O’Hara and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, I am motivated and grounded in who I am as a fearless and creative woman of comedy!
