Veronica Dymond

Veronica Dymond is an award-winning writer from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Her work is known for being queer, playful, silly, and honest - except when it's not. Since 2013, Vero has been a working stand-up comedian, performing with Newfoundland comedy titans like Mary Walsh, Shaun Majumder, and Matt Wright. She was a two-time finalist of Last Comic Standing NL, is featured on the JFL Originals album "Infinity Plus Pizza," and in 2023 she wrote her first solo show "I Kill Myself: A Live Comedy Show." A skilled storyteller, Dymond has written for the page, stage, and screen. She won an Arts & Letters Award in 2012 for her short story Au nom du pere and "I Kill Myself" was shortlisted for the NL Fresh Fish Award in 2024. Her writing has been featured on Bell Fibe TV, CBC, Cracked, Riddle Fence Magazine, and Word Magazine. Her plays, sketches, and films have appeared in festivals like Toronto Sketch Fest, NL Sketch Fest, the St. John's Shorts Festival, the Halifax Animation Festival, the ReelOUT Queer Film Festival, and the Nickel Independent Film Festival. She is a multi-disciplinary artist and works in stand-up, sketch, shorts, music, film, animation, prose, and comics.
