About Me: Kambri Crews

I grew up in the deep woods of Montgomery, Texas where I lived with my pot smoking Deaf parents in everything from a tent, a tin shed, a trailer and a barn. I was pretty much always looking after myself or getting my a$$ handed to me by my drug addled older brother.

Just after turning 17, my father erupted into a jealous rage and attacked my mother. I intervened in the assault, after which my mother and I went into hiding. Still in high school and armed with my mother’s legal permission, I married a 23-year-old sailor I had known for five months.

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, 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.

Hi Kambri, I always browse through all your emails, but for the first time I actually read almost the whole thing. To refreshen your memory I was your neighbor at 31-29 34th st Astoria. I am still there and I must say that I am so glad that I met you after reading about your childhood with your deaf parents and to see that now you shine at the peak of the mountain. I wish you all the very best in all your endeavors.

Chris from Astoria

sheesh, that picture of you in the black bikini during your Jose Cuervo days is enough to fuel the obsession of a 12 year old adolescent boy for life. You are cruel in this regard, albeit unintentional...
