Kelli Dunham

Kelli Dunham is the nonbinary ex-nun storytelling nurse/author/trauma-informed speaker comedian so ubiquitous in modern Brooklyn. Kelli is the author of seven hilarious books about not-hilarious subjects including a bestselling book on puberty and Almost The Best Medicine: Intentional Humor For Nurses And Others With Impossible Jobs. Kelli’s show Second Helping: Two Dead Lovers Dead Funny was called “a love letter to community” by the Bechdel Theater and “drop dead hilarious” by Go Magazine.

Former NYC mayor Bill DeBlasio once called Kelli “a show off.” To Kelli’s face.
