Heather McMahan was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, in a close-knit family that loved to laugh and had a real sense of adventure. Her dad came from a long line of Delta employees and was also a pilot who loved to fly, often taking the family on spontaneous weekend trips to places like Hilton Head. That same spirit led Heather to Ole Miss without ever visiting the campus, where she majored in theater and pursued her dream of becoming a performer. It was there she made lifelong friends, and you can still find her at the Grove on game days—at least when she’s not on tour. These days, you can hear her on the podcast Absolutely Not or catch her Bamboozled comedy tour, where she takes on the expectations and challenges women, especially Southern women, face every day.
