About Me: Kambri Crews

I grew up in the deep woods of Montgomery, Texas where I lived with my inattentive, pot smoking Deaf parents in everything from a tent, a tin shed, a trailer and a barn, sometimes without the simplest modern day luxuries and pretty much always looking after myself or getting my a$$ handed to me by my paint sniffing, crank snorting older brother.

When I was 16, my father erupted into a jealous rage and nearly killed my mother. I prevented the assault, after which my mother and I went into hiding. At 17 years old and still in high school, I escaped by marrying a 23-year-old sailor I had known for five months with my mother’s legal permission.

Since then, I've earned a paralegal degree and pursued banking, promotional and acting careers.

I now live in New York City where I founded Ballyhoo Promotions, an event planning and PR company in New York City whose clients include my husband (comedian Christian Finnegan from Best Week Ever & Chappelle's Show), Stand Uppity comedy tour with comedians Andy Kindler, Marc Maron and Eugene Mirman, Jest Magazine and the NYC comedy nightclub Comix. I've had the pleasure of working/producing/promoting shows with Roseanne Barr, Richard Lewis, Robert Wuhl, Craig Ferguson, Dave Attell, Caroline Rhea, Alex Borstein, John Oliver & many more great comedians.

I also promote various Broadway and Off-Broadway productions and produce shows featuring writers and performers of The Daily Show, Saturday Night Live, The Onion and more.
