Eilise is a writer/actress/comedian who grew up in Southern Virginia selling ham at her dad’s ham store. After escaping the ham life, she went on to study acting and screenwriting at Loyola Marymount University. She’s a current member of the Sunday Company at The Groundlings, where she writes/performs in a brand new sketch show every week. You may know her from the interwebs (@itseilisepatton and @almostfridaytv), where her situational and character comedy videos have found a cult following . 

Her short film, CORA AND SAM HATE THE DENTIST picked up accolades in festivals all over the country last year, and her full-length play, “Alex from Baby Gap,” sold out three nights at the Del Rey Theatre.  You can catch her voice in the upcoming Neflix animated series DANG! (starring Edi Patterson, Netflix), and FLIGHT RISK (dir. Mel Gibson). Eilise stars in the narrative podcast series KERRI with Pauline Chalamet, and DUMP HIM! with Minnie Mills.
