Martha Kelly

Martha Kelly (born February 24, 1968, in Torrance, California) is an American screen actor and stand-up comedian recognized for her understated, sharply observant style. She first drew wide attention as a co-star on FX’s acclaimed comedy series Baskets, where her grounded presence helped anchor the show’s offbeat humor.

Building on that breakout, Kelly expanded her profile with a memorable turn as Laurie on HBO’s Euphoria, bringing quiet intensity and emotional clarity to the series’ ensemble. Her work often leans into naturalism—finding comedy and tension in small gestures, pauses, and plainspoken delivery.

Alongside television, Kelly has assembled a varied film résumé. Her notable credits include Marriage Story (as The Evaluator), Spider-Man: Homecoming (as Tour Guide), Sitting in Bars with Cake (as Ruth), Corporate Animals (as Gloria), and Infinity Baby (as Ava), plus roles in Only Worn Once, Indoor Baseball, and Poetic License.

Also known as 마사 켈리, Kelly continues to move between comedy and drama, earning notice for performances that feel lived-in, precise, and quietly distinctive.
