Hiiii

I’m a DC-based actor and singer who dabbles in sketch comedy and stand-up. I’d be a fantastic candidate for the following roles:

Talking mule in children’s show
Exhausted young southern mom
Petty villain with catchphrase

The standout here is Rebecca Ballinger. Her portrayal isn’t just laugh-out-loud engaging, but it also adds layers to this genre-bending production that would be sorely missed.

From subtle realism to scintillating farce, Ballinger crafts performances with exceptional detail and confidence.

UnProfessional Opinion

Ballinger’s comedic performance brought the audience to hysterics, hanging from her every word, unsure of what she would say or do next.

THE HONEY TRAP

Irish Rep - Off Broadway

I kicked off 2026 making my Off Broadway debut in one of my favorite plays. I originated the role of Emily in the 2023 world premiere production with Solas Nua. I had the privilege to return to the role earlier this year for its critically acclaimed New York run. "Ballinger brings a steady, probing intelligence to Emily, the interviewer whose outsider status gradually becomes both an asset and a provocation." - Front Mezz Junkies

THE PROPERTY PAPA

Reading at 1st Stage

Early in March, 1st Stage was kind enough to host a reading of my solo show. This was our second reading since its development during Solas Nua and Fishamble's inaugural Show in a Bag program. The director, Mekala Sridhar and I are looking forward to the next steps in getting this show produced.

HOW THE SAUSAGE

GETS MADE

Faction of Fools

Last summer, I was sweating buckets during this endearing political comedy THAT WE WROTE! Caro Dubberly's blog said, "Ballinger in particular has such an ear for the perfect balance between stylization and irony, using the natural rhythm in a scene to her advantage at every turn before subverting it with a metaphorical flick of the wrist." I'm also humbled to report that I'm now a Faction of Fools company member!
