about.
Seynique Smythe is a NYC-based comedian, actor, writer, and podcaster from Washington D.C. After completing her studies in international relations, she moved to Chicago in 2018 for a job in disaster relief but later found herself on the stages of the Annoyance Theatre, iO, and the Second City, making an ass of herself but having a great time doing it.
Since then, she’s studied improv at the Annoyance and iO as a DiOversity Scholar, written and performed as part of the sketch comedy group, Diversity Hire and Wrong Kind of Talent, and performed in the horror-comedy tradition Splatter Theatre at the Annoyance, among other things. She also produces her own solo sketch comedy videos on Twitter and YouTube and hosts two comedy podcasts, Everybody Wants Something and We Die First. She has also been featured at the Detroit Women of Comedy Festival (2023, 2024).
Her viral Tweets (X’s?) have been featured on best-of lists on Buzzfeed, Huffington Post Women, and Thrillist.
Seynique brings a confessional style to her comedy, delving into what makes us human: cringe.
When she’s not doing comedy, you can find her cuddling on her couch with her cockachon, Hendrix, though we’ve gotta ask: how did you get this address?
