Martha Kelly – Bio, Age, Parents, Siblings

Martha Kelly’s birth took place on February 24, 1968, in Torrance, California, USA. Not many details about her including that of her parents, siblings, education, and childhood has been shared with the public.

Education, Ethnicity

In high school, Kelly was in a drama, which she really enjoyed, and got interested in acting. However, after a day of acting class  in Community College, she changed her mind as she was “way too self-conscious and inhibited to actually do all the stuff that actors do in training.” 

So she opted for stand-up comedy instead but still, she did not pursue a career in comedy and took a different path- to college.

She studied English in college but dropped out before obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in English. Later on, in 2013 Martha Kelly returned to college and according to March 2018 interview with Vice, she is still two classes short of her degree.

Her ethnicity is Caucasian.
