Hi! I’m Olivia Levine, a queer writer/actor/comedian based in NYC.
Originally from San Francisco, I moved to NY to attend Barnard College in 20__ (you guess), and I have been planted firmly here ever since. I graduated college with a B.A. in Theatre and a concentration in acting. Other training includes The Studio/NY, Uprights Citizens Brigade (UCB), and The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (London). My recent short film, LET LIV (dir. Erica Rose), premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival 2023. I wrote and starred in the film alongside Christine Taylor (Zoolander, Arrested Development) and Rosaline Elbay (Ramy, Kaleidoscope). In 2020, I performed a month-long run of my one person show, UNSTUCK: A Solo Show About Growing Up With OCD (read more below), at the Tank NYC. I continue to perform the show sporadically in the city at Caveat NYC, and plan to take it to the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Film credits include Tallulah opposite Allison Janney, and I Hate Kids with Tituss Burgess and Tom Everett Scott. I also perform standup all over the city at venues such as The Bell House, Union Hall, Club Cumming, Stonewall Inn and more!
This past summer my first short film, LET LIV (dir. Erica Rose), premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival. I wrote and starred in the film with Christine Taylor (Zoolander, Search Party) and Rosaline Elbay (Ramy, Kaleidoscope). I am presently developing the feature version with dear friend and director Erica Rose! The film also played at Montclair Film Festival 2023 and was a finalist in the Film Pipeline Competition!
Unstuck: A One Woman Show About Growing Up With OCD explores the intersection of my OCD and my queerness. Through standup, storytelling and lots of vagina related anecdotes, I depict the tragedy and the beauty of a very misunderstood and under-represented disorder. The show is performed sporadically throughout NYC, keep visiting this site for upcoming shows!
