Bernadette has recorded a number of audiobooks, including Helen Fielding's Cause Celeb . [10] Publishers Weekly wrote: "Quigley scrupulously brings Fielding's vapid, iconic characters to life with her uncanny ability to switch between accents and mood at the drop of a hat, achieving a subtler style of comedy than listeners may expect."

Quigley was born in Coldspring, New York and was raised in Peekskill, New York. She is one of eight children. Her mother, Simonne Quigley (née Lanowitz) emigrated to America from France after World War II and her dad, Robert Quigley was Irish-American from the Bronx.
