Extended Bio:
In New York, she performed Off-Broadway in The Vagina Monologues and Off Off (...way off) Broadway, in some Shakespeare stuff. Also, she can be seen briefly in Robert Altman's last film, A Prairie Home Companion, walking across the stage with a gong. In 2007, she vlog'd weekly with her segment "3ft Deep" for Heavy.com's "The Heavy Show", and continued as a regular on Vh1's "Best Night Ever", the online podcast for Bestweekever.tv. In 2008, just before moving to LA, The NY Daily News had her impersonate Sarah Palin for a fun cover story during the excitement of the 2008 election. For six hours, Kristy marched her hair poof, red suit, and sassy frames all over Manhattan, shaking hands with NY-ers who ACTUALLY believed she was Sarah Palin! This would lead to many other fun gigs impersonating Palin, notably in the pilot for The Aisha Tyler Show. Also in Los Angeles, she performed at The Comedy Store, UCB LA, and various independent films (Not Necessary, Glory Days).
