Who is Kim Evey
Kim Evey is an actress and comedian from Los Angeles. As per her bio, she has been writing and performing comedy for over 30 years and co-founded the improv company Kings' Elephant Theatre. She is also the web content creator behind 'Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show', as well as the producer of 'The Guild'.
In a conversation with Tech Republic, Evey spoke about her favourite body of work so far. "We all have our babies, and my baby is Written By a Kid, created by my friends Will Bowles and Josh Flaum. Felicia and I went to them three years ago when we were looking at building new content for our downtime between The Guild seasons, so Written By a Kid is a long time in the making. It’s really personal to me because one of my favorite things as a producer (mainly because of the grassroots way I became a producer) is to give people opportunities to create things they might not normally get a chance to do. Our directors are a mix of people who work in TV, film, and YouTube. To be able to give each of them the opportunity to see how creative they can be is very fulfilling to me."
Some of Evey's TV credits include -- 'Station 19', 'The Apostles', 'Boston Legal', 'The Young and the Restless', 'The O.C.', 'E.R.' and 'Judging Amy'.
