Career

Roy's screen debut was in 2010 with the role of Jane in 30 Days of Night: Dark Days . [5] Roy learned the art of bartending at Uva Wine Bar in Vancouver, Canada. She came up with the idea of “The Nerdy Bartender” after having a particularly bad drink at a dive-bar she used to work at called The Foggy Dew. She almost immediately began developing her show on YouTube and continued to do so for over a year. As she moved away from YouTube and towards Twitch, she recrafted the show into a live talk-show style format where she would interview guests while teaching them how to make various cocktails. [1]

She also worked with YouTubers Film Riot shooting behind the scenes for a series of DJI commercials. [7]

Later in 2015, Roy played Harley Quinn in the Leo Award nominated fan film Nightwing: The Darkest Knight directed by Matthew Campbell. [8] Her work with the character was praised. [9] [10]

At the end of 2018, Roy successfully sold The Nerdy Bartender to The Brewdog Network for a 7-episode season. [11] Almost immediately after its release in 2019, the show was picked up for a second season on the network DrinkTV which released in June 2020. [12] [1] In June 2022, Roy was revealed to be a contestant on LEGO Masters Season 3 on FOX with partner Nick Della Mora. On Dec 14, 2022, Roy and Della Mora were announced as winners of Lego Masters Season 3. [13] [14] After opening the park on Mar 31, 2023, Roy judged the first ever Junior Master Builder Competition at LEGOLAND in Goshen, NY. [15]
