Maya Knell is a 2016 graduate of Bennington College, and an actor, creator, and comedian based in LA. For work, she sits around her apartment waiting for COVID to end so she can get her restaurant job back. She spends her free time auditioning, making an absurd amount of sketches for Instagram, feeding her cats, and crying into her coffee. Maya Knell has a god given gift to deliver the perfect joke at the completely inappropriate time, making everyone around her uncomfortable. She’s been told she has “zero filter” and to “not joke about death at the dinner table.” You can see more of her content on www.mayaknell.com or www.instagram.com/mayaknell.
