About Gwen
Feminist, comedian, writer– she wrote that list of nouns! Recently, her writing has been making the rounds on the internet, in places like McSweeney’s, Reductress, Humorous HQ Newsletter, and Modern Love. Gwen’s pieces have been called “genuinely upsetting” which she genuinely loves.
She wrote a musical stand-up show called Sad Girl Songs with hits like “Thank You For Not Murdering Me” and “The Clit Song.” It premiered at the PIT SOLOCOM Festival, and went on to the 2022 Vancouver Fringe where it was awarded an honorable mention for the Artistic Risk Award. An excerpt of Sad Girl Songs came to the virtual stage in 2021– winning the Brava Theater’s Funniest Mami Competition.
In ye olden times, Gwen performed with ImprovBoston in the Touring Company and Main Ensemble Casts, produced ImprovBoston’s flagship Musical Comedy Night for over 4 years, and studied advanced improv at Second City Chicago. In even older times, she studied classical music in voice and opera– she has a Master’s in it. In the oldest times, Gwen was not yet born.
