Christina Marie Kirkman is an American actress and comedian who was born on February 25, 1993 in Stoneham, Massachusetts. At ten years old, she won the contest "R U All That: Nickelodeon's Search for the Funniest Kid in America" which gained her the highly-coveted spot as a series regular on the sketch comedy series "All That." After Kirkman's first season (season 9), "All That" won the award for "Best TV Show" at the Kid's Choice Awards. Kirkman also appeared on other Nickelodeon shows such as U Pick Live, Teenick and Slime Time Live.

After the show's final season (10) in 2005, Kirkman returned back to Massachusetts where she attended high school and college. Kirkman graduated from Emerson College in Boston where she studied broadcast journalism. However, her passion for comedy and acting always remained and she was active in several different on-campus productions.
