Her TV writing credits include seasons 4 and 5 of Drunk History on Comedy Central and Adam Ruins Everything: ReAnimated History.

Before comedy was a thing she considered doing, Ursula attended Oberlin College and then spent five years in the PhD program in Sociology at the University of Michigan. She dropped out, moved to Brooklyn and stayed for ten years  -- which was more than enough. I mean, have you heard about how bad the subway is now? She currently lives in LA with her husband Jeff, her cat Ira and her new baby Reuben (the name works because in Hebrew it means "behold a son" and in English it means "behold a sandwich"). She's still on the fence about LA -- the move improved her writing career but worsened her reverse seasonal affective disorder. Long story short: the sun is terrible.

In addition to the above, Ursula attended Communist summer camp, is a leading (twitter) expert on an obscure relic of the French Revolution and, according to her mom's cousin Norma, is the funniest person on Facebook.
