She’s set to appear in the trio’s upcoming film The Treasure of Foggy Mountain. She also has a role in the upcoming movie Sweethearts, per IMDb.
She Occasionally Performs as the Character ‘Pepper Slit’
While Chloe has a wide range of comedic abilities, one of her most popular characters so far is Pepper Slit. She’s an old-timey theater and cabaret actress, who once earned much critical acclaim. She created a mockumentary “Iconic Americans” where she gives a hilarious recounting of Pepper’s backstory. She’s also performed as the character live. Fans can only wait and see if she’ll bring Pepper to SNL!
She Regularly Performs Live Comedy Around NYC
While she’s about to appear in movies and on TV, Chloe is a regular in the live scene of New York comedy. She co-hosts a weekly standup show in the Big Apple. She also regularly collaborates with groups like Car World, Lisa, and A Crazy Amazing Friendship, per Vulture.
She’s Originally From New Jersey
Chloe grew up in the Bergen County town of Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, according to Variety. She went to college at New York University and studied at the Gallatin School of Individualized Design. The school allows students to design their own majors, and the comic said she got “basically just an English degree.” After graduation, she stayed in the city where she regularly performs comedy.
She Loves to Crochet
Besides making people laugh, one of her interests is crocheting, and she’s pretty good at it! She has an Instagram account dedicated to her crocheting projects, including hats, sleeves, and head coverings. She says that you can buy her creations on Depop or DM her for something specific, but she may be a little bit more busy now!
