My name is Bea Mienik!
I’m an NYC-based writer, musician, and comedian, originally from Tampa, FL. In 2025, I graduated from NYU Steinhardt's Vocal Performance MT Program (Bachelor of Music), and I perform musical theatre and improv/sketch comedy.
Before I was a performer, I was a writer. I’ve worked in all writing styles, including satire/ comedy, creative, promotional (BroadwayWorld.com), and personal essays/ opinion pieces (Scholastic Book Company National Award Winner), disability inclusion, as well as being rejected from NYT’s Modern Love a whopping seven times (one day I’ll impress you, Daniel Jones). Currently, I'm a sketch writer for (and co-founder of) What'd You Say? Productions (see our videos here), as well as a Staff Writer/ Editorial Board/ Monologue Joke Desk Co-anchor at Squeaky Wheel Media (thesqueakywheel.org).
One of my other passions is disability advocacy and inclusion, and that's why I created Bea Talks T1D, a series of videos educating the public on Type 1 Diabetes, in 90 seconds or less. I am also a member of Breakthrough T1D's (Formerly JDRF) Young Adult Advocacy Council (Class of 2025-2027). I aided in campaigning on Capitol Hill for T1D research funding with YAAC in March 2026.
When I’m not doing the aforementioned smorgasbord of things, you can find me on the beach, re-watching Hacks, listening to Carole King, playing Pokemon, and telling my cat she is the Prettiest Girl in the World.
PICTURED: A bow? Pre-Macarena? Kite imitation? Definitely a "nice to see you!" Conveniently, it IS very nice to see you here on my "about me" page!
