Biografie
KRISTEN SCHAAL is an American comic famed among television watchers for her portrayal of Mel in the HBO series Flight of the Conchords, and beloved on the Internet for her much-shared, delightfully deranged performance as a children‘s-show horse who dances herself to exhaustion to demonstrate how a bill becomes a law.
Born in Colorado in 1978, Schaal moved to New York City after graduating from Northwestern University and embarked on a comedy career that so far has seen her appearing in a variety of venues, including the improv team Big Black Car at New York‘s Peoples Improv Theater, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, the children‘s theater company The Striking Viking Story Pirates, The Bonnaroo Music Festival and Amnesty International‘s Secret Policeman‘s Ball in 2008.
In January of 2010, Schaal was seen in the feature When in Rome opposite Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel, Dax Shephard, Will Arnett, Anjelica Huston and Danny DeVito for Disney. In February, she was featured in Valentine‘s Day which Garry Marshall directed for New Line/Warner Bros. In March of 2010, her self-written, self-starring Internet series Penelope Princess of Pets premiered as a pilot for the UK‘s Channel 4.
She also entertains as one of the new characters in Shrek Forever After for DreamWorks and in Get Him to the Greek, written and directed by Nick Stoller with Judd Apatow producing for Universal. She was also seen in Dinner for Schmucks opposite Paul Rudd and Steve Carell, directed by Jay Roach. She was also seen in Going the Distance for New Line opposite Justin Long and Drew Barrymore.
Schaal was highlighted as The Funniest Woman on Television in Esquire and was featured in Entertainment Weekly's Next Big Things in Comedy end-of-year issue, as well as its list of the 25 funniest women in Hollywood. She was also featured in Variety's Top 10 Comics to Watch list in 2009.
