About Angela Spera
Angela is a comedy writer, performer and marketing/social media director based in New York City. She wrote jokes for season 5 of TruTV’s show Billy on the Street and was a story producer on the “ambush comedy talk show” Start Talkin’ with Scott Rogowsky. As a marketing director she’s done everything from plan a prom for privileged preschoolers to promoting a band comprised solely of singing gynecologists. She studied sketch comedy at the Peoples Improv Theater. Her training in the first ever Murderfist workshop, “How To Make A Million Dollars Doing Sketch Comedy,” is where she learned the recipe for fake blood, combined with a childhood love of The Carol Burnett Show, results in what some might call a unique comedic sensibility. Previous relationships, disappointments, and makeouts include: a fisherman, a part-time professor, a production assistant, a state park employee, an accountant, a veterinarian, the guy that played Jesus in her high school production of Godspell, several stand-ups, and one guy who identified as a “revolutionary.” She’s been told on Tinder that she’s “not naughty enough,” which she agrees is accurate.
