Sissy gets herself into a hot mess with the ladies of HOT MESS this Friday night LIVE!

NEW YORK - April 8, 2014 - PRLog -- The seeds of Hot Mess were planted in 2005 when creator Amy Kersten, who is pretty accident-prone, got herself into a pickle involving a falling TV, her face, some stitches and… finally a settlement. So in 2009 she decided, after paying off all her maxed out credit cards, to use the fruits of that hot mess story to tell more Hot Mess stories! Amy somehow convinced the amazing Director of Photography, Ken Kotowski, to collaborate and film these embarrassing “screw up stories” to share with the world wide web. In collaboration with a handful of the other messes (Cheri Paige Fogleman, Mary Catherine Green, Molly Ann Coogan), Season One was produced — with 7 Episodes, Season 2 with 11, and our Third season will have has 13 episodes.

From there she began the 1st season of Hot Mess in 2009 while starting the MFA Acting program at the National Theater Conservatory (Class of 2012).   As an actor she has appeared in this weird viral video, the webseries Gays Anatomy &, Duder, and her vlog Coat Tales- filmed in the actual closet where she checked coats in the winter of 2012. Amy is an advanced improviser at the UCB and still auditions for legit theater on days when she has clean laundry and her headshot and resume already stapled together.
