Kim Quindlen is a Chicago-based comedian and content creator who makes comedic Instagram skits centered on womanhood and motherhood, often including her husband. She is a mother of two boys, ages five and two and a half, and frequently mines parenting for humor. She discovered improv after reading Tina Fey's Bossy Pants and moved to Chicago to pursue training at Second City while working as an administrative assistant. She took nighttime improv classes, integrated into the Chicago comedy community, and turned her early goofy, sketch-making background into a performing and online career that balances family life and comedy.
You might be familiar with Kim Quindlen if you're a fan of Chicago Med or What We Do In The Shadows. Or you might know her if you happen to be into the improv and comedy scene in Chicago. But more likely, you recognize her from Instagram, where she does hilarious skits, sometimes involving her husband, almost always about being a woman or a mom.
I remember buying Tina Fey's book, Bossy Pants, in the airport, and she started talking about Second City in Chicago, and I was like, "Oh, so that's what I do." Because by this point, I think I had tried stand-up, and I really loved comedy, but I was like, "I don't think stand-up is the route I like." And then I read about her doing improv in Chicago. So I was like, "OK, I figured it out. I'm going to move to Chicago."
