Comedy folk music duo Garfunkel & Oates entertain audiences with hysterical music and musical stand-up comedy. Pennsylvanians Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci met at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles California after being introduced by fellow comedian Doug Benson, forming Garfunkel & Oates soon after. The girls began to hit the scene as a pair in 2009, their song “Screw You” featuring on an episode of the hit television series Scrubs and appearing on The Jay Leno Show to perform “Year End Letter.” In 2010, the duo collaborated with rapper Childish Gambino for a song entitled “These Girls”, featured on Gambino’s mixtape Culdesac. The pair have appeared on HBO and Comedy Central, in their own shows and as guests on a range of others.
Riki Lindhome started herself on the Comedy Central show Another Period. She hosts a podcast by Nerdist Industries called Making It. Graduating from Syracuse University in 2000, Lindhome took on the entertainment industry independently without an agent, earning herself a role on the sitcom Titus.
Kate Micucci’s career began on an episode of Malcom in the Middle in 2006. She has voiced characters in both the Lego Batmanand Scooby Doo!franchises. Micucci has had recurring roles on other hit shows like Til’ Deathand Big Bang Theory. In film, Micucci has appeared on screen in movies like When In Romeand The Little Hours. Both gifted comic minds in their own right, these two are unstoppable when brought together as Garfunkel & Oates.
