Kether Donohue
A proud native New Yorker and called “the funniest woman on TV” by GQ and “the unstoppable Kether Donohue” by Variety, Donohue has received critical acclaim for her fearless performances in film, television and theatre.
Donohue is perhaps most well-known for her scene-stealing role as Lindsay Jillian on the critically acclaimed FXX comedy series You’re the Worst, which she starred on for five seasons and earned a Critics’ Choice Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Donohue also brought to life the role of Jan in Fox’s live Emmy-winning musical presentation of Grease Live. Currently, Donohue can be seen starring in Chuck Lorre’s new CBS comedy series B Positive.
B Positive is Donohue’s third time working with James Burrows following another series regular role in the CBS multi-camera pilot, Open Books, starring Laura Benanti, and a lead role in another multi-camera pilot created by Suzanne Martin, Like Family, opposite Brandon Mychal Smith for NBC. Additionally, she recently starred opposite Darren Criss in the Quibi musical comedy series Royalties. The show follows the ascent of a ragtag songwriting duo – Sara (Donohue) and Pierce (Criss) – as they navigate the strange and hilarious challenges of creating a truly great song, week after week.
Donohue previously starred in Barry Levinson’s sci-fi thriller, The Bay, which premiered at Toronto Film Festival. She’s also played sharp-tongued Alice in Pitch Perfect and Lizzy in the emotional crime drama, Boy Wonder.
