Olivia Cathcart is a writer and comedian. Initially starting her stand-up career while attending The University of Alabama (earning a BA in Film/TV production), she’s since performed all across the US at various comedy clubs, indie theatres, and festivals including the Laughing Skull Lounge and Limestone Comedy Festival. Her comedy has often been described as smart and clever by many and was once told, “I thought you’d be terrible, but that shit was funny” by one guy who doesn’t know how to give a compliment. He’s dead now (cholesterol).

Her comedy career and education lead to work in entertainment journalism, most notably working as the assistant comedy editor for Paste Magazine. She has also written features and reviews for Creative Loafing and The Laugh Button. As a copywriter, she’s led marketing and rebranding efforts, content and process creation, UX/UI writing, B2B & B2C content, commercial scriptwriting, and business consulting across various industries including media, retail, manufacturing, IT, telecommunications, and fintech.

She also bats a respectable .375 in wiffleball.
