\"MalorieMalorie Cunningham<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screen:<\/strong> Southern Comfort<\/em> (Avery)<\/a><\/p>\n

Malorie Cunningham\u2019s series Southern Comfort<\/em>, created for her comedy duo Dolly Partners, was nominated for best web series at the Chain Film Festival in 2018.<\/p>\n

Cunningham (\u201814) had earlier co-founded the improvisation group Full Disclosure Comedy in Knoxville and studied at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York City.<\/p>\n

At UT, Cunningham, a journalism and electronic media major, remembers \u201cteaching myself to edit, running to campus events to shoot a story, and rushing back to the writing studio to finish the newscast for that day. I was firing on all cylinders!<\/p>\n

But my professor at the time, Dr. Swan, encouraged us to just grab a camera, go out, and do the work,\u201d she adds. \u201cLittle did I know, I would use all that info to create some comedy. Isn\u2019t life a gag?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cunningham has launched \u201cHead Cow Productions\u201d to host her new Southern-themed comedy sketches and co-stars in a monthly stage series called Sketchy History: A History Sketch Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n
