MEGHAN O’NEILL

Writer/Director

PROFILE

Meghan O'Neill is a middle child from

the midwest who was often raised by

loving, hardworking parents and more

often than not raised by the television.

After surviving a classical acting

conservatory undergrad with lots of

movement clothes and very little irony,

she moved to New York to make

comedy and has never looked back.
