Margaux Poupard, despite her very French name, didn’t grow up in France, but the equally glamorous Burbank, where she was ridiculed for heating up her quiches at lunch by kids who took acting classes with Blake Lively.
She’s won Best Comedy TV Pilot at the LA Comedy Film Festival, and placed in ScreenCraft'sTV Pilot & Fellowship competition, and Filmmatic's Comedy Awards & Inroads Fellowship. She’s also performed and won Comedy Hack Day at SketchFest with her team, Well Deserved.
With her degree in film, she began her writing career as a concert reviewer for the SF Examiner. Margaux has since contributed to: The Bold Italic, Thrillist, KQED Pop, and 7x7.
Some of her other work includes:
A questionable dog-centric feature
PBS docuseries Food Forward
Creator, writer, and producer of Metacafe original web show, Pause/Play
In 2010, Margaux co-founded Ocelot Webworks, a full service independent production company. Through Ocelot, she co-wrote and co-produced two successful web series, in addition to sketches, and commercials for local businesses. They were invited as finalists to present at the Digital Hollywood Content Summit.
Currently, Margaux writes and teaches sketch comedy at Killing My Lobster, and earns a living as a freelance copywriter. You can follow on her on Medium where she promises she’ll post more soon, and on Twitter, an account she swears she’s going to delete one day, but that day isn’t today.
Margaux is also the co-host of Old Millennials, a deep dive podcast on pop culture topics from the late 90s-early 00s.
