Her wonderful career includes roles in acclaimed films such as ‘Knives Out’ and ‘Under the Silverlake’ and major hit shows ‘Wednesday’, ‘The Big Bang Theory’, ‘Brooklyn 99’, and most recently ‘The Muppets Mayhem’. She is one half of Garfunkel and Oates, her musical comedy duo with Kate Micucci, and she is also the co-creator and showrunner of the TV series ‘Another Period’ which aired on Comedy Central and was produced by Red Hour–Ben Stiller’s production company.

Additionally, Riki is an Emmy-nominated songwriter, and has contributed to animated movies and TV shows such as The Lego Movie 2 and the Spongebob Movie. She will appear as Maud in the upcoming horror film ‘They Listen’ by Blumhouse films later in 2024.

She will also be performing at Edinburgh her new show “Dead Inside”. Dead Inside is a poignant mix of true stories and silly songs about Riki’s personal and tumultuous journey into motherhood.
