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 Selena
 Selena Coppock loves
performing as part of the sketch trio Walking Contradiction. In addition to sketch comedy and film, Selena performs
standup comedy regularly and improv comedy irregularly. Selena has been chosen to perform in many comedy festivals (2006
and 2007 Boston Comedy Festival, 2006 and 2007 Lowell Comedy Festival) and has appeared throughout New York, with performances
at Mo Pitkins, The Knitting Factory, Gotham Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, and many
more. Before she moved to NYC, Selena lived in Boston where she performed improv comedy for years, put up her one-woman
show Seriously? and performed at The Comedy Studio, The Comedy Connection, The Comedy Vault, ImprovBoston. She has trained
at ImprovOlympic (Chicago), ImprovAsylum (Boston) and most recently at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (New York), where
she met and began working with Keisha Zollar and Heidi Edsall. When not performing, Selena enjoys jogging, reading memoirs,
80s power ballads and Natty Light.
Meet Keisha
 Keisha Zollar
is a hip hoppin New Yorker. When Keisha was 3 years old and watching the comedic rantings of Sam Kinison she took up
her own insane comedic rantings. A little later Keisha (Miss Zollar if you're NASTY) attended UCSD where she double
majored in Theatre Arts and Communications Media Arts. At UCSD she was co president of her college's theatre troupe,
performed with various improv and sketch groups, performed-wrote-directed more than 20 shows, spread awareness of social injustices
using theatre in various campus organizations, and was eventually hired on as an acting consultant teaching sketch comedy
and promoting cultural awareness(damn that was a lot of work). In 2002 Miss Zollar moved to New York City to attend
graduate school at the Actors Studio where she studied acting(METHOD IN THE HOUSE). Upon graduating she found work as
an in school children's game show host with the show Arithmetickles(Hey Kiddies. . .you want to learn Math?). After
a brief stay there with Arithmetickles she began working with ‘Eight is NEVER Enough' at the World Famous Laugh
Factory. Then in 2006 Keisha Zollar formally began her public speaking career with The National Mental Health Awareness
Campaign; speaking to youth across America about mental health awareness. In addition she is still a social activist with
Walking Contradiction- proving WOMEN ARE FUNNY and her improv group ‘God Tastes Like Chicken'. Currently,
she has a national Kleenex commercial running, and is working on an independent sketch comedy pilot that is currently being
pitched to Comedy Central.
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.
