About Me

Shukri R. Abdi, is a writer, actor, and TV producer from Potomac, Maryland. Most recently, she co-wrote the series STRANDED, a new comedy for Broadway Video/Audible. Shukri's other writing credits include ERIN & AARON (Nickelodeon/Neflix), KEVIN CAN F**K HIMSELF (AMC), BLACK CARD REVOKED (BET), and DANGER FORCE (Nickelodeon). As an actor, Shukri has been featured in UNITED WE FALL (ABC) and ADAM RUINS EVERYTHING (TruTV), the animated series ALPHA BETAS (YouTube), and several narrative podcasts including FISHPRIEST (AUDIBLE) and SOUNDS SCARY (AUDIBLE). Shukri has been a long-time performer at the UCB Theatre in LA, and in 2019 was named a New Face of Comedy by the JUST FOR LAUGHS FESTIVAL in Montreal. A lover of game and competition shows, she has produced on programs such as BIG BROTHER (CBS), MINUTE TO WIN IT (NBC), and THE APPRENTICE (sorry). Before landing in LA, Shukri attended Wellesley College, and also lived in Mexico where she spent 3 years studying, teaching, and modeling. Good for her.
