About this Event
STAY FUNNY. STAY SCARED. (Erica Diederich)
"Erica is a queer actor, writer and comedian living in Brooklyn, NY. She can be seen performing characters and sketch all around New York City as well as in numerous commercials playing on a digital screen near you! She has studied all aspects of comedy at The Upright Citizen's Brigade, The People's Improv Theatre and The Squirrel NYC.
Erica was scared of pretty much everything growing up. Then one day, everything changed. She now watches movies like 'The Conjuring' and 'It' for fun. Come watch her half-hour exploration of all things horror, laugh at some spooky themed characters and be a part in discovering how to overcome the terror within."
