In an interview with news.com.au, Lauren O'Brien revealed that she started to do impersonations when she was a little kid. "I would have my parents cracking up doing impersonations of family members, teachers, the mail man. I was a middle child so quickly learned how to get my attention in a family of five kids," O'Brien shared.
The comedian recounted that she enrolled in a business degree in college but her professors told her she was in the wrong major because she somehow made her presentations look like a sketch comedy performance. "I was pulled aside by multiple professors and told I was in the wrong major and should go to the theatre department. It wasn't until post college that I really began to pursue it," O'Brien shared.
Lauren O'Brien admitted that she is currently overwhelmed with the success of the celebrity impressions video. For her future plans, the comedian revealed that she wants to do more celebrity impersonations with new videos being shared on Twitter and be a part of the late night comedy show "Saturday Night Live."
"I have been writing a few pilots for sitcoms, just finished my first stand-up comedy tour and submitting to comedy festivals. Hoping to record my first CD/DVD very soon. And I'm always trying to get the attention of the folks at SNL!" O'Brien revealed. Have a look at Lauren O'Brien's impersonation of 14 celebrities stuck in traffic video below.
