Maggie Kubley is a performance/video artist and storyteller/songwriter living in Chicago. She was born in Indiana, grew up in Indiana, and received her BA in Theatre from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana before moving to Chicago in 2006. Since then she has brought her brand of sharp witted, catchy, feminist pop performance in countless performance venues, theaters, and salons throughout the city.

Maggie's preferred mediums are music, standup, humorous story telling, video, photography, and slideshow. She uses these forms to weave evening-length performances that allow the audience to laugh one moment and cry the next. The juxtaposition of poignancy and silliness is always at the forefront of Maggie's work.
