As an actor, comedian, and screenwriter, Kit Redding has come a long way from doing improved comedy as a teen.
Redding was born in a small town in England to Josephine Marriott, a cousin to comedian Peter Sellers. His mother, British-born, worked for a perfumer, while Redding's father, French-Yemeni, worked in PR for airlines.
After moving to Stamford, Connecticut, Redding attended Trinity Catholic High School, where he was given the superlative of class clown and performed comedy at Curtain Call Arts Center after school.
While studying film at Fordham University in New York City, Redding was cast as the lead role in Christopher Durang's comedy play "The Marriage of Bette and Boo." His first comedy screenplay, "The Rabbit's Neck," was nominated as a quarter-finalist in Francis Ford Coppola's contest.
While sharpening his off-the-cuff comedy style at NYC's Magnet Theater, Redding soon landed a role as the Mad Scientist in a national commercial for Comedy Central. This led to a supporting role in the romantic comedy "Herman & Shelly," which premiered at the IFC Film Center in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. He soon participated in a few television projects for NBC, CBS, and Apple.
In 2023, Redding put on a stand-up comedy world tour, acting as a launching pad for his career. The same year, he wrote and sold a crime comedy screenplay adapted from his tour, giving him the exciting chance to work with his dream director.
Redding lives between Stockholm, Sweden, and Los Angeles.
