Biography

Dawn Brodey, a talented individual with a rich background, hails from Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, before making the transition to Los Angeles, with a brief stopover in Minneapolis along the way. Prior to her West Coast arrival, she had a stint in live theater and improv, showcasing her skills as a street performer at the iconic Universal Studios Hollywood.

A unique aspect of Dawn's life is her experience living on a houseboat on the Mississippi River for an impressive nine years. This unconventional residence was followed by a move to Los Angeles, where she arrived in a vintage RV, a testament to her free-spirited nature.

In Los Angeles, Dawn first gained recognition as the creator and host of a live variety show, "The Trailer Trash Talent Revue," which was a staple in the Van Nuys community. This monthly extravaganza brought together a diverse array of celebrities, musicians, and individuals residing in the RV Park, where Dawn briefly called home. The show received widespread acclaim, including a feature in LA Weekly.

Dawn continues to be an active presence in the Los Angeles comedy scene, frequently performing stand-up comedy throughout the city. She shares her life with her husband, Andrew Melby, a director, and their daughter, a lovely addition to her family.
