It all begins with an idea.
Carmen Carigan has been getting mistaken for her dad over the phone since the year 1997. Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio and now living in New York City, Carmen has cultivated a passion for performance from a very young age. Carigan spent most of her waking moments in college dedicated to the award-winning sketch comedy group, University tWits. She served as the organization's President, a writer, performer and director during her three-year stint in the group and drew audiences over 400 (not too shabby for college kids on a Friday night).
Currently, Carigan co-hosts, writes and edits “Liability on the Mic” with Chicago standup and college friend Liz Evans, which has 20 episodes available on Spotify, Apple Music, etc. Carmen is also working on a pilot script, doing standup in New York, and is currently co-writing and producing an hour-long sketch revue with iO Theatre alum Jake Huff.
Currently, she wears two hats: she works closely with accomplished producer Lauren Mandel as she launches her production company "Disco Nap," owning content strategy, creation, and account engagement for shows under the company's umbrella. She also help with live show production, partnership proposals, company expansion strategy, and more for Disco Nap. Additionally, she co-creates the content strategy, copy writes for, and manage analytics across all of Comedy Central Stand-Up's social media platforms.
I am interested in creative roles in the late night entertainment space that allow my 'jack of all trades' experience and talents to serve my team.
She's played a deranged neighbor who has completely ruined a murder mystery party. She's mimed a high school romance to Eric Clapton's song "Wonderful Tonight." She's ranged from an undercover mom, a dry commercial director, and a Staten Island middle child who has a bone to pick. The commonality in all of Carigan's work is that she fills up the room with her unique voice and commitment to her characters. She'll make sure that you don't forget her performance.
Carmen is interested in creative roles in the late night entertainment space that allow her 'jack of all trades' experience and talents to serve her team. She is available for and interested in acting, writing, and voiceover roles.
