KK Apple is a writer, director, and actor working in comedy. Her recent short THE LAUNCH premiered at Seattle International Film Festival and had a 2023 festival run including Palm Springs Shortfest and New Orleans Film Festival. It premiered online at Omeleto and was awarded a Vimeo Staff Pick.
She helped create the live show SIX CHICK FLICKS, which sold out its run at the Edinburgh Fringe, performed off-Broadway, and toured 50 cities across the UK in 2024.
KK started her comedy career in New York City. She was a house performer at the UCB Theatre, where her solo show THE RHYTHM IS GOING TO GET YOU ran to sold-out crowds. She dances a lot — she directs movement for the stage, music videos, and TV, and her choreography has been shown at low-brow venues like Jacob’s Pillow.
Her other projects include branded campaigns and videos for companies like Vimeo, Vox, and HBO. She worked on the Emmy-winning crowdsourced film project STAR WARS UNCUT and produced an interactive experience at Tribeca Storyscapes.
KK grew up in Minnesota and is passionate about a State Fair pickle.
