Keri Kenney b. 20 January 1970 in Westport, Connecticut is an American actress, singer and writer.

Kenney comes from Hollywood blood. She is the daughter of actor Larry Kenney, who is best known for his classic voiceover work. He was a regular on the Don Imus regular show (voicing the characters of General Patton, Andy Rooney and and Ross Perot). He was also the voice of cartoon characters Count Chocula and Sonny the Bird (for Coca Puffs.)

Kenney joined with an improv comedy group called [[The State}The State (TV Show)]] and in 1994 their work was picked up for a sketch comedy show on MTV. Even after the show's cancellation in 1995 (after three seasons) Kenney continued working with her fellow troupe-members. In 1996 the varity show spoof that she co-wrote and starred in, "Viva Variety", was picked up network Comedy Central. The show ran for two seasons, not an entirely unsuccessful run for the network in question.
