Evany Rosen is a Canadian comedian and actress, most noted as a founding member of the comedy troupe Picnicface[1] and as co-creator with Kayla Lorette of the Crave original series New Eden.[2]

Early life and education

Originally from Ontario, Rosen attended Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, forming Picnicface with several of her friends.[3] The troupe achieved significant success on YouTube before launching a Canadian Comedy Award-winning sketch comedy series on The Comedy Network in 2011.[4]

Career

Following Picnicface's cancellation, Rosen appeared in the web series Space Janitors, for which she was a Canadian Comedy Award nominee for Best Female Performance in a Web Series at the 15th Canadian Comedy Awards in 2014[5] and at the 16th Canadian Comedy Awards in 2015. She has also had voice roles in cartoons, including Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race, Winston Steinburger and Sir Dudley Ding Dong, Total DramaRama, Powerbirds, Hotel Transylvania: The Series and Mysticons, and guest appearances in television series including Saving Hope, Workin' Moms, Baroness von Sketch Show and Pretty Hard Cases.

In 2017, she published What I Think Happened: An Underresearched History of the Western World, a book of humorous essays about history.[6]

In 2020, Rosen and Lorette narrated the livestreamed presentation of Craft in Scripted Programming categories for the 8th Canadian Screen Awards.[7] In the same year she was announced as a member of the writing staff for Fort Puleyne, Thomas Middleditch's historical comedy pilot.[8]
