Ashley Brooke Roberts

           

I’m a comedian, writer, and proud etcetera-er. In addition, I have a large amount of respect for authority figures, an extensive Disney pin collection, and a Bug Out Bag for when the S.H.T.F. I teach 10-year-olds stand up at Gotham Comedy Club throughout the year, AMA. I perform live versions of my newsletter “Ashley Explains It All” sporadically at Union Hall in Brooklyn, NY. For five years, I hosted a stand up show every Thursday with comedian Jim Tews at the UCB East Village called Fresh Out! NY before the beloved venue closed. RIP. I currently write for Ask Me Another on NPR. I wrote for Nat Geo’s Explorer where I took a shot of Wild Turkey with Dan Rather and was held in a loving embrace by Jeff Goldblum. I acted on the UCB Maude teams The Prom and Absolutely, as well as the all-lady sketch show Bullshit Women. I’ve been in commercials for all your favorite household products (Febreeze, Scrubbing Bubbles, DampRid, Seamless, etc.). In college, I won an award from the Associated Press for general news reporting for writing about a county board member with ties to dog fighting. I love writing bios. And I have written an erotic novel called The Kings Property, which details the adventures of Fritz and the last honest men in the apocalypse.
