Elizabeth Zephyrine

Elizabeth Zephyrine, aka "Zeph," is an award winning actress, director, and creator who has been featured on The Daily Show, where she also directed and wrote on multiple Emmy-winning seasons. She writes, directs, and stars in many of her own shorts, and has been called one of "the funniest things on the internet" by The Guardian. Her comedy videos have garnered millions of views, and been regularly included in Vulture's Best Comedy of the Week, as well as featured in The New York Times, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker, where she's also appeared as an on-camera correspondent.

Zeph's extensive late-night television experience includes contributing as a producer, writer, and director to Full Frontal With Samantha Bee, The Rundown With Robin Thede, and The Reductress Hour, and directing a half hour pilot for Comedy Central, executive produced by Jason Sudeikis. Zeph co-created and starred in 'Janice Gunter, Ghost Hunter,' a comedic series about a lovable savant trying to launch her own ghost-hunting business, which was acquired by Elizabeth Banks's comedy platform Whohaha. The show garnered attention through an Andy-Kaufman-style approach to publicity including a live appearance on New York's Pix11 News where Zeph was interviewed in-character as "a local Ghost hunter." Her documentary 'Still Standing,' following two aspiring comedians in their 80s, premiered at the Lower East Side Film Festival where it screened along with a Q&A moderated by Tig Notaro, and went on to win the award for Best Documentary Short. The film was acquired by The New Yorker, where it is currently available to stream.

Zeph co-hosted the monthly stand up show 'Party Hat' at The West Side Comedy Club and is a member of the NYC Clown collective 'The Wüfpak.' She was once a stand in for Julia Roberts, but you'll have to ask her about that in person.
