She produces and hosts a monthly, daytime showcase called Morning After Kill which promises to fix all of yesterday’s mistakes, today. She also hosts a monthly open mic called Plan B. Kelly recently starred in a short film about stand up comedy called Unfunny. This film features Kelly’s original material.

Also a member of the Bend Improv Group and an obnoxiously proud mum.
