Hello, I'm Rebecca Marquardt (mAr-kwArt). I'm an actor, director and filmmaker who happens to play a lot of instruments.
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 directing 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," and parents had to know, "Where do you get your energy from?"
My looping act made the front page of reddit and got me shoutouts from Nicki Minaj ("fkng icon") and Leslie Jones (hello SNL tickets!), and my video about shopping safely during the pandemic got 225k views. I'm wholesome, quirky, and laugh out loud funny (my whole family agrees).
