Biography
ELLIE KEMPER is a St. Louis-born, NY/LA-based and Princeton- educated writer/performer with roots at the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB), The Onion and McSweeney's.
After she gained attention with her one-woman show Feeling Sad/Mad in 2008 at the UCB, Kemper's contagious friendliness and enthusiasm led to her permanently joining the cast of The Office as Erin, the naïve new receptionist. In the summer of 2009, she shot the role of Ellie in Nicholas Stoller's Get Him to the Greek and the role of Claire in Sofia Coppola's Somewhere. She was also featured on Variety's “10 Comics to Watch.”
