Watch out for her upcoming scene with Todd Barry on Adult Swim tv show Delocated She recently had roles on STARZ network series Gravity, NBC pilot "Off Duty," MTV's "College Humor Show," Adult Swim's "Fat Guy Stuck in Internet," and Campbell Scott's feature film "Company Retreat." Catch her on Maude Team Everything Rabbits on the 3rd Monday of the month at 9:30pm. Her show Human Painkiller, which she wrote and performed, recently closed, but check out some blurbs from reviews:

"Did I mention that I never stopped barking with laughter? I hate to do those if-this-person-and-that-person-had-a-baby etc., but here goes: she has the child-like staring-contest-winning confidence of Andy Kaufman; the anti-polish and audacity of any John Waters regular circa *Pink Flamingos*; and yet beneath the insta-friendliness and endearing eccentricity, she has all the crowd-pleasing impulses of Sandra Bernhard on a very bad day. Thus she is a master of comedy - but comedy on her own terms." Stan Richardson - nytheater.com [nytheatre.com]

"Dazzling. Startling. Laugh-out-loud hilarious. Violet Krumbein's one-woman romp is called Human Painkiller, and for good reason, because I'm not sure how anyone can still feel pain after a half-hour with Krumbein, unless you're hurting from laughing so much." Sean McCarthy - comicscomic.com [thecomicscomic.com]

"Violet Krumbein creates a world where hilariously insensitive characters interact with a cloying protagonist who just wants to make people happy. Violet Krumbein IS the human painkiller. Abbi Crutchfield -theapiary.org [theapiary.org]
