Ana Gasteyer is perhaps best known for her incomparable work on Saturday Night Live. During her six-year stint, she created some of the most iconic SNL characters, including middle school music teacher Bobbie Moughan-Culp, NPR radio host Margaret Jo, Lilith Fair poetess Cinder Calhoun, as well as spot-on impressions of Martha Stewart, Celine Dion and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Gasteyer is also a highly accomplished singer and songwriter. This winter she’ll embark on a Christmas tour in support of Sugar and Booze, her recent album of seasonal favorites and holiday originals which topped numerous “Best Holiday Album” lists. Called “an uproarious homage to Christmas albums of old” by Billboard and “the magical love child of Astrud Gilberto and Lucille Ball — an unexpectedly perfect combination” by BUST Magazine, the album was released to rave reviews. 

​​Inspired by the music from Sugar and Booze, Gasteyer produced an 8 episode original series for Audible, which she co-wrote with Mona Mansour. The series was voiced by Gasteyer, Maya Rudolph, Patti Lupone and Rachel Dratch among others.

On stage, Gasteyer has starred on Broadway in Wicked, as Elphaba, The Rocky Horror Show, and Tony Nominated shows The Royal Family and Three Penny Opera, and originated the role of Debra in David Lindsay-Abaire’s Kimberly Akimbo at MTC. She also starred in Funny Girl, and Passion at The Chicago Shakespeare Theater, which earned her a Jefferson Award Nomination.

Prior to joining SNL, Gasteyer attended Northwestern University and honed her comedy skills at The Groundlings, the famed Los Angeles improv-sketch comedy group. Gasteyer resides on the East coast with her husband, children and rescue pup, Gloria.
