Ana Gasteyer is perhaps best known for her incomparable work on Saturday Night Live. During her six-year stint, she created some of the most iconic SNL characters, including middle school music teacher Bobbie Moughan-Culp, NPR radio host Margaret Jo, Lilith Fair poetess Cinder Calhoun, as well as spot-on impressions of Martha Stewart, Celine Dion and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Additionally, Gasteyer headlined the NBC comedy series, AMERICAN AUTO, from executive producer Justin Spitzer (SUPERSTORE, THE OFFICE).
Gasteyer, is also a highly accomplished singer and songwriter. She previously embarked on a Christmas tour in support of Sugar and Booze, her album of seasonal favorites and holiday originals which topped numerous “Best Holiday Album” lists. Called “an uproarious homage to Christmas albums of old” by Billboard and “the magical love child of Astrud Gilberto and Lucille Ball — an unexpectedly perfect combination” by BUST Magazine, the album was released to rave reviews. As said by the LA Times, “’Were Frank, Dino or Sammy still with us, any or all would pounce on the delightfully swaggering title track” and “Saturday Night Live’ alumna Gasteyer puts her considerable vocal chops to work here to marvelous effect on this ebullient big-band jazz effort.”
Gasteyer’s first album, I’m Hip received equally rapturous reviews. She has toured around the country with her “Happy Jazz” act since 2016 and had a two-week residency at the famed Cafe Carlyle of which Stephen Holden of the New York Times raved about Gasteyer’s comedic stories and her “strong singing voice that can stir up a storm.”
On stage, Gasteyer has starred on Broadway in WICKED, as Elphaba, THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, and Tony Nominated shows – THE ROYAL FAMILY and THREE PENNY OPERA, and originated the role of Debra in David Lindsay-Abaire’s Kimberly Akimbo at MTC. She also starred in FUNNY GIRL, and PASSION at The Chicago Shakespeare Theater, which earned her a Jefferson Award nomination. At City Center Encores, she played the role of Mimi in A New Brain, opposite Jonathan Groff, and sang on that cast recording. At the Hollywood Bowl, she wowed as Miss Hannigan in the Tony-winning musical ANNIE, with the LA Philharmonic.
Prior to joining SNL, Gasteyer attended Northwestern University and honed her comedy skills at The Groundlings, the famed Los Angeles improv-sketch comedy group.
See her LIVE in concert on the Playhouse stage this summer, performing songs from throughout her career – jazz standards, Broadway classics and more!
