Where do creative people come from? On Beginnings, two fledgling comedians talk origins with professional creators and others just starting out, and hopefully answer their parents’ question, “What are you doing?”




Hailing from Pennsylvania, Christine Nangle began her comedy career in Pittsburgh, performing with improv group Hustlebot. In 2007, Christine moved to New York where she began taking classes at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, eventually working her way up to writing and performing on a number of different house sketch and improv teams. In 2009, Christine was hired as a staff writer on Saturday Night Live and has been responsible for sketches like Snooki, Wikileaks and more. Last week, we sat down with Christine at the Blacktress House and discussed neighborhood mayors, growing up in Philadelphia, being the good kid, what hippie you are, stand-up in Pittsburgh, angry and silly, giving away the secrets of sketch, “All the Steeler Ladies” and being screamed at for not knowing cursive.
