Kelli S. Dunham

Kelli Dunham is the ex-nun nonbinary nerd nurse /storytelling writer and comic so common in modern Brooklyn. KELLI is also a community health nurse with more than two decades of clinical experience working in Philadelphia and New York City, an award-winning trauma informed stand up comic and author of seven hilarious nonfiction books about very not humorous subjects (including kids' guides to puberty) and the creator of a series of health-related zines especially for LGBT folks, including Hey Let's Go Get A Pap Exam, and You Don't Have To Love Your Body ToTake Care Of It: Brainstorming the Workaround. Kelli has appeared on Showtime and the Discovery Channel, PBS Stories From the Stage, the Moth Mainstage, Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness, the Cinderblock Comedy Festival, the Women in Comedy Festival, and nationwide at colleges, prides, fundraisers and even the occasional livestock auction. Kelli was nominated as a 2105 White House Champion of Change for her work as the co-founder and producer of Queer Memoir, NYC's longest-running most earnest LGBT storytelling event. Former NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio once called Kelli "a show off." To Kelli's face.
