Levy is officially represented by hungryman in the UK as well, joining their existing representation in the US.
Three months ago, hungryman announced that acclaimed comedy director Hannah Levy had joined its roster.
Now, hungryman share the rest of the news: Levy is officially represented by hungryman in the UK as well, joining their existing representation in the US.
Known for their work directing over sixty pre-taped sketches at Saturday Night Live, Levy has built a distinctive comedic voice rooted in character, performance and precision. After getting their start at The Onion, ClickHole and Funny or Die, they went on to direct pre-taped pieces for John Mulaney's Emmy Award-winning Everybody’s in LA and write for Netflix's Murderville and Comedy Central's Alternatino.
That character-first approach has translated seamlessly into commercial work. Levy grounds even the most absurd comedic ideas in real emotion and specific, playable performances. By building around an actor’s instincts and finding the small details that make a character feel authentic, they’ve developed a signature style that is both visually inventive and just downright funny.
Their commercial work includes campaigns for Verizon, Milk, Hotels.com and Taco Bell, collaborating with talent including Aubrey Plaza, Pete Davidson, Sam Richardson, Ike Barinholtz, Rachel Dratch, Timothée Chalamet and Harry Styles.
“From my first conversation with hungryman, I knew it was the right creative home for me,” said Levy. “They’re a great group of people who love making great things, and I’m so excited to expand the relationship to the UK.”
Currently developing their first feature, Hot Ted, with Billy Magnussen's HappyBad Bungalow, Hannah continues to bring that same sharp eye for character and performance to stories of every scale.
“Hannah is exactly the kind of director we’re excited to bring to the UK and comes with an extraordinary depth of comedy experience,” said James Sorton, Managing Partner of hungryman UK. “They have a brilliant ability to find the human truth inside even the most heightened comedy and to draw out performances that feel incredibly specific and natural. We’re delighted to finally make this official and very excited for what we can build together."
