Vicky Kuperman is a Moscow-born, Boston native, and New York City rat-packer …….named by The Huffington Post as “one of 12 new comedians to watch!” In 2014, she published her debut comedic novel, “The Russian Drop,” and released her debut comedy album “When I Could Feel,” on iTunes, streaming on Pandora & Spotify and on SiriusXM’s comedy channel. At the 2014 United Solo Theatre Festival, she performed her Off-Broadway one-hour solo stand-up show to packed houses for five consecutive nights….. and won “Best Stand-up of the Fest!”
Alternately described as “fierce,” “fearless” and “ferociously funny,” Vicky has performed at countless festivals nationwide, including the renowned Boston Comedy Festival, where she was a finalist, and one of only four women to have reached that round in the festival’s 13-year history.
When she is not performing live, Vicky is a regular contributor to The Huffington Post, where her columns skewer the absurdities of everything from weddings, to work, to politics. Vicky and fellow comedian, Kendra Cunningham founded Malarkey Pictures, for which they write, direct and star in short films that appear across the Internet, notably on “Funny or Die.” Their film, LonelyGirl48 was recently named “Best Comedic Short” at the Boston Comedy Festival, and “Best Short Film” at the Palm Beach Women’s Festival. Many more of their films have been screened at both the St. Louis and Boston film festivals.
Vicky has been featured on The Maxim Comedy Showcase, NickMom TV, Sirius Satellite Radio & Comcast and was presented by comedy legend David Brenner on several shows as part of his tour
“David Brenner Presents: “Comedy Stars of Tomorrow.”
