Meet Our Founders

KELLY

Kelly is a four-time Emmy award nominee passionate about helping story-tellers develop brands and generate unique content. Kelly is excited to bring two decades of experience in comedy to help artists grow. She was inspired to start Creative Greenhouse with her good friend Helen when she saw how many talented artists navigate a career in the performance space on their own. She believes that the many artists who are making their own way deserve access to knowledge that can help them create stability and growth in their career. Kelly started her career in comedy at the very young age of 19. The comedy world has become her community. She’s in love with the art and has meaningful friendships with both talent and industry. The deep respect for the art itself and those who contribute to it is what motivated her to find a way to give back to this community that gives her so much.


In her free time Kelly will be in nature connecting with herself and source. She takes great joy in spending time with family and friends, especially her dog Reginald. She dances freely, sings poorly and has an honest and warm cutting edge that comes with being one of six kids from a working class family in New Jersey. She relies on her intuition and you could lure her to any gathering with promises of tarot readings and a good DJ. She is a resident of an artsy enclave in NJ where she is active in tenants’ rights to fair housing. You can find her posting silly memes and writing poetry on Instagram @kelkidding.

HELEN

Helen has been a comedy producer since the early 2000s, building one of the most respected comedy Festivals in the US. Specializing in branding and talent booking.

Helen started The Creative Greenhouse with her good friend, Kelly because she believes in the power of a solid start in comedy. Helen has the unique opportunity to see comedians' first stop to fame with her work as CoPresident of The Boston Comedy Festival. Here, she has seen performers like: Hannibal Buress, Nate Bargatze, Mark Normand, Joe List and countless others rise to fame after launching their career. In addition, to the perspective of those who are starting, she also works directly with those who have carved their own paths in the performance space like Jennifer Coolidge, the late George Carlin and Emo Phillips.

Helen knows the wild trajectory performing as can take! She also has a firm grasp on the ways performers must reinvent again and again to stay relevant to an ever changing audience.

A native New Englander, Helen is eternally humble and would rather roll up her sleeves than schmooze. She will meet you as a human and treats everyone equally regardless of status. She is grounded and offers grounding to all those on the path to sky rocketing success. Her eye is laser focused on the steps to success, and growth. Quick with a laugh, and comfortable being her truest self Helen draws on her strengths to embolden new talent and create structure for a new performer.

In her free time Helen enjoys remodeling her new home, traveling as a newly-wed and pouring herself into art as a digital artist and painter. She tries new recipes and hosts friends. Coming from a large family, her time is well spent with siblings, nieces and nephews all over the country. Her gifts of warmth and home extend to the comedy community. Meet her once and you are family. She looks forward to creating a community with you! Get to know Helen more at @helendimarzio on Instagram.
