SHANNON HARDY
WRITER/COMEDIAN/WHATEVER
Shannon Hardy is a comic, writer, actress, whatever from Massachusetts.
She received her BA in Film & TV Production from USC's School of Cinematic Arts. Currently her pilot, THE GODMOTHER, is a Second Rounder in the 2022 Launch Pad Pilot Writing Competition and #11 on The Red List's top comedy pilots. As a 2022 Quarterfinalist, WeScreenplay Diverse Voices ranked THE GODMOTHER's dialogue and characters among the 92nd percentile, with judges calling it "one of a kind in its genre." In 2021, Hardy's feature film, DADDY ISSUES, was a Yes and Laughter Lab finalist. Her short films have been featured at Clexacon, LA Women’s Independent Film Festival, AGLIFF, LA Cinefest, NFFTY, and Film Pipeline. If you like gay stuff, her film "Yes and No" is available for streaming on Tello and The Advocate's PRIDE.com.
Most social interactions make Hardy feel like a shaken can of soda rolling across a busy highway, but she actually got her start talking to people. For two year, she was tv personality/host on Dirty Water TV (NESN). She then went on to host the mini-series, Conspiracy Central (Pollution TV) as well as USC's Women Creating Comedy alongside Ziwe Fumudoh, Rachel Sennott, Chelsea Devantez, London Hughes, and Jana Schmieding. More recently, Shannon appeared in the Facebook Shop Holiday Mess sketch directed by Kristian Mercado Figueroa (Michael Che: Shame the Devil, Taylor Tomlinson: Look at You).
Right now, she's eating soooo many doritos at her grandmas aka writing a short film, produced by her friend, Kris Mercardo.
Shannon's performed stand-up at the Hollywood Improv, the House of Blues, the Ice House, and produces her own drag comedy show, Tight 10's, at Bar Lubitsch!
