Crista Flanagan has been performing almost as long as she has been breathing. As a little girl, the Mount Vernon, Illinois, native performed each year in her elementary school's talent show. Childhood friends and family members are quick to note that Crista's sense of humor and comedic timing have also been there from the start. All of these qualities served Crista well after she graduated from Mount Vernon High School in 1994 and began attending the University of Evansville, Indiana. After she received her bachelor's degree in theater, Crista moved on to the University of California, Irvine, where she earned a Master of Fine Arts, all the while sharpening her acting skills in university productions such as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Oklahoma!
After college, Crista turned her attention to standup comedy. Upon moving to Los Angeles, she began performing in clubs such as the L.A. Improv, the Comedy Store,the Comedy Union, and the Knitting Factory. In time, she created her own one-person comedy show,But Wait...I Have Impressions,which was later the inspiration for MADtv recurring character Luann Lockhart. In 2003, Crista won first prize at the 15 Minutes of Fem Festival in L.A. One interested spectator at this festival was Nicole Garcia, the casting director for MADtv.Garcia arranged a pre-read for Crista, but nothing more came of the initial MADtv audition.A year later, however, Crista was called in again; and after two more auditions and a testing, she could at last call herself a MADtv cast member.Although Crista began MADtv as a featured player during Season 10, three sketches that she wrote were used, including the first Luann Lockhart sketch. Season 14 will be Crista's fourth as a full-time MADtv cast member.
However, Crista's recent accomplishments extend well beyond MADtv.In addition to her guest-starring roles on TV shows and her supporting roles in films (including 2007's Epic Movie), Crista can lay claim to one of the most popular podcasts on the Internet, Hope Is Emo created in conjunction with Ask a Ninja. Along with former MADtv cast member Daniele Gaither, Crista recently hosted the second annual Ladies First Celebrity Golf Tournament, the only all-female charity event. Crista even lent an article to the second edition of Self-Management for Actors, Bonnie Gillespie's handbook for aspiring Thespians. Even with all of these hats to wear, Crista still finds time to visit her hometown of Mount Vernon as often as possible. I knew she'd make quips a childhood friend.She always loved to act and dance and cut up
