Chelsea Peretti is a self-proclaimed “silly billy.” She berates people for liking soup, routinely discusses the merits of Lakers forward Pau Gasol, and has recorded an entire song dedicated to Wolf Blitzer. And yet, she’s one of the most hardworking comedians in L.A. right now: Formerly a writer for Parks and Recreation, Peretti performs stand-up tirelessly and now hosts her own call-in podcast, Call Chelsea Peretti.

She’s also known for her irreverent, caps lock-heavy Twitter account, which ranges from helpful tips (“If ur depressed buy a can of whipped cream spray it into your hand + mash it on your face u will def feel like a silly billy in seconds flat”) to current events commentary (“CNN W THE RACIAL SYNONYMS ‘DARKSKINNED’ ‘BROWNSKINNED’ ‘OBSIDIANISH’ ‘NON-ALABASTERY’”). Most recently, she guest-wrote for Saturday Night Live and Kroll Show, and was one of nine comedians featured on Time’s Top 140 Twitter Feeds of 2013. She’s currently crossing her fingers that Fox picks up the Mike Schur/Dan Goor cop comedy pilot, on which she’ll play a civilian office manager named Gina.
