KRISTIN MINEO – On air talent

Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Kristin Mineo decided she wanted to be a comedian, actor, dancer and Paula Abdul at age 5. Things took a left turn when she studied Medical Microbiology and Immunology at UW-Madison…a logical step; however, she performed in musicals when she wasn’t playing with petri dishes and was nominated ‘funniest female’ every year. She studied improv at Second City while pursuing a corporate career (she LOVED wearing suits and cuff links).

Four years later, Kristin left the corporate ladder and is back in LA and back to her roots of being a performer. Performing stand-up comedy (The Comedy Store, The Improv, Flappers, The Comedy Union), improv comedy (BANG!, iO West), all while simultaneously writing/shooting sketch comedy with Six Titties, and producing stand-up comedy shows under the banner of 350 Degree Comedy, both of which she co-founded.

Kristin loves comedy. She tried drama once, but it was just so… drama. Follow her on Twitter @Kristin_Mineo!
