Surviving San Francisco
After years of being a serious journalist, Keli Dailey found comedy. She's the creator of "Surviving San Francisco" -- a series of fact-based comedy shows examining life in America's most expensive city -- supported by the San Francisco Arts Commission and Media Alliance. She produced, wrote and starred in an original comedy-news webseries for young women called "News Hangover," supported by First Look Media.
Keli's efforts to blend journalism with comedy have been recognized by Poynter, Huffington Post, the Austin Chronicle, women's blogs and comedy sites like Whohaha. Keli has appeared on South by Southwest panels to talk about the power of comedy to communicate news in 2019, 2018 and 2017 -- in 2016 Keli gave a solo SXSW talk called "Comedy is the New Journalism."
