WHITNEY CUMMINGS

 

Hailed as “the reigning Queen of American stand-up,” Whitney Cummings is one of the preeminent
comedic voices currently working as a stand-up comedian, actor, writer, producer and director. Best
known for creating and starring in the NBC series “Whitney,” she also co-created and co-wrote (with
Michael Patrick King) the Emmy-nominated CBS comedy series “2 Broke Girls.” 
In 2019, Whitney launched her own podcast titled “Good For You” and debuted her fourth stand up
special, “Can I Touch It?” on Netflix. Previous specials have debuted on HBO and Comedy Central. In
2017, Whitney debuted her novel “I’m Fine, and Other Lies,” which details her brutal anxiety and
codependency disorder, written with her trademark entertaining wit, humor, and honesty. In addition
to co-writing and directing the feature film “The Female Brain,” she also stars alongside Sofia Vergara,
James Marsden, Lucy Punch, Toby Kebbell, Cecily Strong, Beanie Feldstein, and Blake Griffin. The film
details the inner workings and complex power of brain chemistry among couples at different stages of
their relationships. It premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival and was distributed by IFC.
 
On the big screen, Whitney was last seen with the “Foo Fighters” in the Open Roads Film feature “Studio
666”.  Past feature film credits include “Unforgettable”, “The Wedding Ringer,” “Made of Honor,” and
“The Ridiculous Six.” Whitney has appeared in such series as “Tacoma FD”, “Liza On Demand”,
“Undateable,” “Workaholics,” “Maron” and the Comedy Central Roasts, which have solidified her
presence in comedy television. 
She has made countless other television appearances on talk shows such as “Watch What Happens
Live,” “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” “The Late Late Show with
James Corden,” and she’s appeared on and guest hosted “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and “The Wendy Williams
Show.” The continued success can be attributed to one thing, as explained by Glamour Magazine: “One
thing has remained constant in this career: Whitney says it as it is, and OWNs stand-up comedy.”
Following the success of her sold out “CODEPENDENT TOUR”, Whitney is currently on her “TOUCH ME”
stand up comedy theatre tour which spans 75-cities across North America.
