Keith Blaney

Born and raised in Miami, Florida – I received my degree in theatre from Florida State University going on to a post-graduate acting internship at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia. I've been acting on stage, screen, and television for over 35 years as well as developing, writing, and performing a wide range of projects and solo performances, from years of sketch comedy to a critically acclaimed run of Wallace Shawn’s politically charged monologue, “The Fever” at Area Stage on South Beach.

Spanning the majority of the alphabet with work on networks and streamers, my recent television credits include episodes of “Fargo,” “Future Man,” “Tim and Eric’s Bedtime Stories," and "Extended Family."

On stage work in LA includes critical acclaim in the Los Angeles premiere of “The Lepers of Baile Baiste” at the Celtic Arts Center. I'm also really proud of my work as Nurse RU486 in “Hollywood Hellhouse” at the Steve Allen Theater.

At the end of 2016 I wrapped up a critically acclaimed dual-role turn in The Next Arena’s world premiere production of “Vonnegut USA” as well as performing with Firesign Theatre co-founder Phil Proctor in the SAG-AFTRA Radio Plays production of “An Evening with The Firesign Theatre, or Something Like It.”

Along with developing screenplays with my writing partners (Charlotte Glover and Adam Libarkin), I'm a happy veteran of several local storytelling venues, including LA’s longest-running spoken word forum, Sit ‘N Spin at the Comedy Central Stage. My story “Crayons” was published by Phoenix Books in “Dirty Laundry,” an anthology of Sit ‘N Spin stories.

My solo show "F*ck Fiction: True Tales of Life and Death in Paradise," won the best storytelling show award in the 2017 NOHO Arts Festival and was a Encore Nominee in the 2018 Hollywood Fringe Festival.
