Kalia Lay is a born and raised New Yorker* living in the greatest city in the world. She is an award-winning actress** and frequent thrifter. She is also a theatrically trained culture snob with two cats and a surprising amount of upper body strength. She can often be found at the movies. Or at a diner chugging black coffee. Or trapped underground in the subway***.
You can see her in Improvised Couples Therapy this August at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Actor / Writer / Comedienne / etc.
*Long Island. But close enough.
**Sounds braggy but it’s true.
***Kalia has forged an alliance with the Subway Rats and is currently employed by them as envoy to the human race.
