About The Milking Cat
Founded in 2018, The Milking Cat was created by three high school sophomores who wanted to spread their love of comedy. Originally accepting submissions from all creators from its inception to Spring of 2020, The Milking Cat then rebranded as a spot dedicated to teenage comedians, showcasing high school comics who aspire to funny greatness!

Julianna Reidell
Curator
Julianna Reidell is a Curator at The Milking Cat. She tried unsuccessfully for years to create a reputation as an Angsty Teen, until she realized that being angsty is passé and switched over to humor. An aspiring author, she gained notoriety when Draft One of her first novel was forcibly seized and relocated to a superfund site due to public health and safety concerns. Forthcoming products will hopefully be better.

Dev Pandya
Outreach Officer
Dev Pandya is a marketing outreach officer at The Milking Cat. At the ripe age of 43 he looks pretty good. Being a Canadian, he came into this world with a maple syrup bottle in hand and his very own baby-sized igloo. Contrary to the Canadian stereotype, he doesn’t own a pet polar bear. Instead, a pet beaver named Dev Jr. As you can see, he is very creative. Currently he works on his basketball skills day & night because “Hockey is boring…..and I can’t play the same sport as the Leafs."
