Katie Keenan is an actress/writer/producer in Los Angeles, California. She is an excellent improviser, having studied at The Groundlings, iO (formerly Improv Olympic), and The Second City Conservatory in Chicago. Recently, she played Elise, the co-lead in the spy thriller spoof The Canadians, a popular web series on Funny or Die that is now a popular series on Amazon Prime Video. Katie was also an actor and director/writer for 2 episodes of the horror web series Part VIII, currently in post-production.

Katie cut her teeth in Chicago performing, training, writing, producing, directing, and when she wasn't doing all that she would go running on the Lakefront Trail. Some of her Chicago film credits include: Kathryn Upside Down (Independent feature), One Day at a Time (Winner of the Audience Award at Take 1 Film Festival at Columbia College Chicago), and a web short called Snoop Dogg Smart Home with the funny folks of Big-Little Comedy. Some stage work included sketch shows Madame Senator: Weapons of Mass Seduction with the all-female sketch/improv team Madame Senator, Rahm Zombie (endorsed by NBC Chicago), and the US premiere of an Irish play, Nasturtiums and Cherry Buns, where Katie only had like two notes from the dialect coach ever (half of her family lives in Ireland so that helps).

In North Carolina, where Katie grew up, she attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Go Heels!), adding her name to the ranks of alums including Lewis Black (The Daily Show) and Brian Tucker (Chapelle's Show, SNL). During her time there, Katie double majored in English and Dramatic Arts with a minor in Creative Writing because she is an overachiever. She often reminds people of Catherine Tate, Christina Hendricks, Amy Adams, and Jenna Fischer, but BETTER, right?? ;)
