Kelly Coughlin is a musician, teacher, singer and actress currently based in London after taking a career break from teacher in Los Angeles. Kelly moved to London to study at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, (R.A.D.A) then after deciding to stay in London returned to Los Angeles to say good bye to her former students to take the plunge into the world of acting full time. Then the most magical thing happened that all us creatives dream about, Kelly got a casting from SPOTLIGHT.

Listen to hear Kelly’s incredible, mind-blowing story, her time at the Upright Citizen Brigade, her love for musical improv and the delightful imposter syndrome that so many of us have suffered from. 

You can catch Kelly as Jaden on Armando Iannucci’s new show on HBO, Avenue 5. You can also listen to me gush over my super crush Zack Woods and Kelly’s time on Season One of Avenue 5 and to the wait until the next season.
