Lexington, Massachusetts comedienne Rachel Dratch was born in 1966. She graduated from Dartmouth College in 1989 and spent a number of months doing children's theater before heading to Chicago where she landed on the main stage of the Second City sketch troupe.

In 1999, she made the leap to SNL and has become a standout performer with her original characters and for her impressions. Dratch has also been seen in the films "Down with Love" and "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star" starring former SNL cast member David Spade.

In 2000, she performed her critically praised two-woman show "Dratch & Fey" opposite SNL head writer Tina Fey at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York. The show was dubbed "the funniest thing to be found on any New York comedy stage" by Time Out New York. In addition, Dratch wrote, directed, and performed in the short film "The Vagina Monologues," which premiered at the New York Comedy Film Festival in 2001.
