Who is this girl?

Abby Erff is a New York City–based multi-hyphenate artist (actor / playwright / improviser / overthinker). Her obsession with storytelling began at age five when she played a truly alarming ghost in a community theatre production of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Ichabod Crane remains hot).

She is a graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, where she studied Drama at the Atlantic Acting School and fully committed to comedy, writing, and emotional oversharing as an art form. Her work is driven by sharp observation, neurosis, desire, and a proudly vulgar point of view. Abby writes across theater, nonfiction prose, and satirical screenplays, often interrogating intimacy, identity, and the humiliations that shape a person.

She is known for her one-woman show To My Husband and as a house team member at The People’s Improv Theater (Clown Car). She is currently training at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in NYC. This spring, Abby will debut her first full-length play, Cracked, co-created with Dakota Bobadilla, premiering at the New York Theater Festival in May 2026. She is the host of A Sexual Being Podcast on Spotify, a Substack writer, a sometimes TikToker, and a devoted cat mother to a black cat named Salem, who tolerates her ambition and lives rent free.
