About
Who is Lindsay Ellis?
I would love to tell you
TLDR: I’m a Toronto-based comedy writer, actor, and creative consultant with experience in screenwriting, satire, and performance
I attended the 2025 Stowe Narrative Lab after my 1/2 comedy script was selected as a semi-finalist. My short play, Waiting for Love, was selected for the 2025 Women at Play(s) festival.
Currently, I’m a freelance contributor to The Beaverton, Canada’s news satire site.
I have an MSc, MBA, and Mrs. because I like to collect letters around my name so I can humble-brag about how smart and lovable I am.
