BIO
Laurel left Florida 18 years ago but still believes Orange Gatorade cures everything but a broken heart, which is a job for Gatorade Mango Extremo. She writes, makes, and says things that make her laugh in New York City. From 2009-2012 she worked as a writers assistant at Saturday Night Live and concurrently at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon before moving to L.A. for an MTV and Broadway Video pilot she can get into more later. Cutting forward, she was featured in the Best of New Talent Showcase at Carolines on Broadway, the Lady Laughs Comedy Festival 2017, and performs and produces comedy around NYC including FREE PUPPIES Comedy Hour, which Time Out New York named one of the “Top 10 Amazing Free Things To Do In NYC,” Thrillest named one of things to do on Valentine’s Day 2019. She won a nationwide contest to host from AdWeek in 2016 from an audition video in which she interviewed her dog about fashion week. In 2017, she co-wrote, co-hosted, and produced “Tigger Show with Chloe and Laurel” a late-night style variety show for Soho House, which sold out and was well-received. She wrote and directed the play, “With Regrets,” which went up at The Tank theatre in the fall of 2019, and was featured as The Native Society’s Digital Comic of the Day in May 2020. As the creative lead across Bravo TV’s social channels, she produced and creative directed 400 pieces of content a month for two years and increased engagement by over 3,000%.
Whilst in quarantine, she started ‘Laurel’s Little Show’– short interviews of comics and other people she finds interesting. If you like or subscribe to it, she will forever think of you dearly. In 2021 she wrote the reality competition show, “Legends of Low-Code,” and in 2022 she was co-lead writer for “Dreamforce Tonight” with Alex Moffat, a three-episode late night show produced by Salesforce.
She founded and edits satire magazine The Bacon Beacon. Her writing has appeared on or in Amazon Prime, BlackBook Magazine, Comedy Central, MTV, Bravo, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Reductress, The Onion, Funny or Die, Above Average, and many heated opinion pieces for her high school newspaper.
Her middle name is Bacon. Yes, really.
