Marnina Schon is an actor, singer, violinist and writer based in Los Angeles.
Marnina is half of musical comedy duo Couplet (@coupletcomedy) with their romantic and creative partner, Micah O'Konis. Couplet has quickly grown a fanbase online and in person, touring their award-winning show Honey Honey Moon Moon to New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, and London, and making their Edinburgh Fringe and BBC premiere last year to wide acclaim (“so charming!” ***** - Ed Fest Mag, “wild” ***** - Starburst Mag). They are returning to the Fringe this year with their new show Folk Marry Kill at Assembly.
As an actor, Marnina starred in the dramedy series Chanshi (featuring Henry Winkler), an Official Sundance Selection. Marnina has performed in countless theater productions in the Los Angeles area (South Coast Rep, Laguna Playhouse), and originated roles in staged readings at Center Theatre Group, The Wilshire Ebell, and the Geffen Playhouse. Critics have called their performances “quirky perfection” (StageSceneLA) and “most interesting...I wish she had more stage time” (Broadway World). You may have also seen Marnina ruining Kat Dennings's date on Hulu's Dollface, hacky-sackying to the delight of Fred Armisen and the dismay of Sian Clifford on Netflix's Unstable, creating sketch videos with the likes of Josh Gad and Seth Rogen, goofing with comedy icons like Paul Scheer and Rachel Bloom in The Muppets Script, and jumping into the wackiest of roles with Quick & Funny Musicals' revolving door of original musicals at Upright Citizens Brigade or The Elysian each month. You can spot them fiddling on cult-favorite Dropout shows Game Changer and Play It By Ear. You can also hear them on Good Guy with a Gun!, a new musical comedy album (featuring Chris Sullivan, Kimiko Glenn, Anthony Rapp, Jason Alexander, and more). Marnina has also sold their soul to be in some national commercials.
