Hello, I'm Rebecca Marquardt (mAr-kwArt), an actor, writer, and filmmaker who loves stories that make you laugh and cry at the same time.
I studied music at the Cincinnati Conservatory before quitting oboe to pursue comedy (the obvious next step). I spent eight years in Chicago studying improv, standup, storytelling, acting (Meisner) and writing while shooting, editing, and making videos along the way. I moved to NYC in 2015 and toured the country as the host/emcee of Odd Squad LIVE! Children raved, "You're crazy!" while parents had to know, "Where do you get all that energy?"
My looping act made the front page of reddit and got me shout-outs from Nicki Minaj ("fkng icon") and Leslie Jones (hello SNL tickets!), my video about grocery shopping during the pandemic got 225k views, and my short screenplay Pinsetter is doing well in script competitions. In August 2021 I co-wrote and directed a queer short film called Boifriend which should be at film festivals this Fall.
I'm wholesome, quirky, and sure to become your child or cat's new best friend.
