I spend a lot of time thinking about why people do what they do, and then making it weird.

Emma Vanzant is a comedian and writer from Nashville, Tennessee, living in Brooklyn, New York. She has a background in PR and graduated with a B.A. in Psychology from Samford University, with a minor focus in film.

Her work lives somewhere between the two - which is to say, she spends a lot of time thinking about why people do what they do, and then making it weird.

When she's not writing or making people laugh in a weird awkward way, you can find her consuming a concerning amount of caffeine and making something with her hands. She stands like that a lot of the time.
