How We Came to Be...
We are three cool cats who met in a sketch class and found each other to be so devestatingly funny that we were instantly compelled to join forces and take the comedy world by STORM! Beware: we are masterminds of comedic innovation and the internet is our Bat Mobile! Wait.. does that even make sense? We're not up on the whole Superhero-thing, it just kinda seemed like hot imagery... and we loooove to look hot: Heidi frequently squanders her grocery money on manicure/ pedicures, Selena has an alarming bronzer addiction that has been the topic of repeated family interventions, and Keisha prides herself on a butt so luscious that it actually scares her husband. But we're not all feminine fluff and nonsense, nosirree! We can hang with the boys, you betcha! We drink PBR, we play pool, we put Bob Seger on the jukebox - hell yeah! Up high, down low - you're too slow! Douchebag! Haha! We looove that one! Rad! Friggin' A! *Scratch, scratch* Try us! Invite us over; take us for a spin! Alright, bad choice of words- simmer down, there, fellas.. what we MEANT was: we're chiiiiill... easy breezy... if we had a tag line it would be, "Walking Contradiction: Life's too short to take us seriously".. ok, that needs some tweaking but still, you get the idea... we like to laugh; better yet, we like other people to laugh WITH us. Because, at the end of the day, we're pretty sure that laughter solves the world's problems. You know how you can be watching You Tube and then next thing you know you look at the clock and you're like, "Crap! It's been three hours? I didn't get any work done!!". Well, that's how it could be for militant insurgencies. Too busy laughing to blow stuff up. Crazy but it just might work, right? In fact, if we were superheros that would be our secret power: tickle our enemies' funny bones until they're laughing so hard they forget to do evil stuff... Woah- did you see that? We came full circle to Superheros! Literary brilliance - we'll drink to that! Yeah, superheros.. hot... superheros wear black leather, right? Yikes! We gotta hit the gym!

Meet Keisha
Keisha Zollar is an actress-comedienne-producer living in New York City. Keisha started auditioning for TV and film in 2005 and has since booked programs on NBC, AdultSwim.com, internet videos, pilot presentations, and national commercials. At the same time, she began taking sketch and improv classes at the Upright Citizens Brigade where she fell deeper in love with all things comedy. She can be seen performing comedy all around town-Gotham Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, Times Square Arts Center, Ha Comedy Club, Upright Citizens Brigade, The People's Improv Theater, and Magnet Theater. Keisha has worked to hone her comedic talent by performing, writing, directing, and producing various shows. Walking Contradiction's web videos and live shows have allowed Keisha to stretch acting, writing, and directing muscles. NYTheatre.com says "Keisha Zollar is captivating in her various roles."
Meet Heidi
Heidi began writing and improving at age 5 when she performed impromptu split-screen soap commercials in the bathtub (yes, naked). Since then she has had the great pleasure to carry a variety of lead and principle roles (fully clothed) for theatre, film, video, and print as well as participate in episodes of primetime and daytime television. She particularly enjoys serving with a smile in Java on As the World Turns (her inner monologue is "Once this tip jar is full I'm taking the Siamese twins and we're leaving that lying sack of dinosaur puke once and for all!" You can use it, too, if it helps you. Heidi likes to nurture other artists). Heidi has trained in improv, sketch writing and storytelling at the Upright Citizens Brigade and studied on-camera technique under Roberta Reardon and Tori Visgilio. Her first love is comedy and she is thrilled to collaborate on Walking Contradiction with two outrageously clever ladies who help her find humor in everyday nonsense. Heidi is a member of AFTRA and owes everything to her parents. Seriously. Debt is no funny-business.
