Press Bio:
Natalie Younger is an actor, writer, and podcast host living in Chicago.
A regular in the Chicago comedy scene, you can find Natalie improvising full-length musicals with the critically acclaimed show Baby Wants Candy or leaving it all on the comedy 'field' with ComedySportz Chicago. She has also appeared in numerous independent film projects including leading cult-beloved horror comedy Bride of the Killer Piñata.
An avid reader and history-lover, Natalie co-hosts two history podcasts: Shared History, a comedic exploration of the historically underrepresented or overlooked and Under The Kilt, a Scottish history podcast co-hosted by actor Adam McNamara (Black Mirror, Vikings, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child).
When not wearing her actor-hat, Natalie serves as VP and Copy Director for The Banditry Co., an award-winning Chicago boutique animation and VFX studio. She received a 2022 Midwest/Chicago Emmy win and 2023 nomination for her work as a writer/producer on the WTTW News Explains series with her colleagues and collaborators at TheBanditry Co. and WTTW Chicago.
In early Summer 2025, An Epic History of Failure, a nonfiction children's book with Macmillan's Neon Squid imprint will be published, and Natalie will officially add "published author" to her bio.
