Shannon DeVido is an American award-winning actress, comedian, singer, writer, director, and producer. Hailing from Philadelphia, DeVido was born with spinal muscular atrophy.

Her sardonic humor, accompanied with her acting abilities, has landed her roles on Hulu's Difficult People (2015-2017), Comedy Central's The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore (2015), and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (2010) among others.
