“Windler is a Wonder”- Winnipeg Free Press
about emily windler
Growing up in an Air Force family that moved to a new place every 4 years, as a kid Emily made friends with the reliable constants in her life – comedians on TV. She spent a lot of time as a kid mimicking scenes performed by the greats like Carol Burnett and Don Knotts – or making up voices that bummed her parents out. She spent her formative years of High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico where she became spellbound by the magic of live theatre and later went on to graduate from Dell’Arte International in Northern California with an M.F.A. in Ensemble-based Physical Theatre. That is where she first learned to create original characters and material.
In 2011 she jumped on a Tour SUV crammed full of a friend’s mask show and headed for the Canadian Fringe Festivals. Loving the energy of the audiences and fellow artists, Emily cut her teeth on the hard knock streets of the Fringe Circuit – touring for years with original shows she created and performed in, often with her husband-to-be and partner in comedy crime.
In 2022 Windler moved her husband and two cats to Las Vegas to perform in the hit show Absinthe and has since been working in the fast-paced world of circus and variety arts. She has had the pleasure of performing in numerous shows along the world famous Las Vegas Strip. And she has studied with clown legends such as Voki Kalfayan, Jonathan Taylor, Aitor Basauri, Ronlin Foreman, and Joan Schirle.
