Ellen Skrmetti studied stand-up comedy writing at The Second City before taking her sharp Southern storytelling to social media, where she built a devoted audience with her hilarious observations on family, marriage, motherhood, and the everyday absurdities of life.

Now, she’s bringing that comedy to audiences nationwide with CATTYWAMPUS, her new stand-up show named after her upcoming book, Cattywampus: A Southern Woman’s Guide to Laughing When Life Goes Sideways.

With razor-sharp timing, Ellen finds the comedy in moments when life goes completely sideways. From raising kids while raising your parents to marriage, aging, and realizing you need readers to read a menu. Cattywampus is for anyone that knows that life will never go according to plan and wants to laugh about it.

Warm, quick-witted, and unapologetically Southern, Ellen will make you laugh more than the law should allow.
