BIO

It's-a me, Maria Randazzo, two-time WGA Award-nominated writer, actress, and Brooklyn lady with bangs. My most recent credit is as a staff writer on the Emmy-nominated Apple Original series

The Problem with Jon Stewart. 
 

I'm a contributor for Reductress and you can catch me doing sketch and improv around NYC. I appear monthly in That Show at UCB, a variety show hosted by Chris Gethard where I frequently appear as Sal, a boomer who loves making PowerPoint presentations and believes you should

carry cash on you at all times. 

​

I'm also co-host, creator, and producer of The List podcast, which I like to call The View, yassified. Myself and comedians Tocarra Elise, Papirossa, and Quincie Zari get together each ep to share one topic each -- personal, pop cultural, political, anything goes. We discuss, we laugh, we cry, we list!

(We mostly talk about Beyoncé).

Prior to NYC, I was an actor and writer with the Second City in Chicago. As a cast member and writer of Second City's "She The People," Chris Jones of the Chicago-Tribune called me a “very notable up-and-comer.” I also traveled the country performing with The Second City Touring Company and on the high seas with Second City aboard Norwegian Cruise Lines (AMA!). 
 

I'm a graduate of Loyola University Chicago, a native of Cleveland (come at me haters), and

climate change pending, will retire in Miami to the Golden Girls lifestyle of my dreams.
