She appeared in numerous sitcoms, including "30 Rock," where she played the role of a self-absorbed version of herself, and "Parks and Recreation," where she had a recurring role. Dratch also appeared in several films, including "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" and "Click." n 2022, she made her Broadway stage debut in "POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive" for which she earned a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play nomination.

Dratch is also a talented writer having co-authored the memoir "Girl Walks into a Bar...: Comedy Calamities, Dating Disasters, and a Midlife Miracle," in which she reflects on her personal life, her career in comedy, and her unexpected journey to motherhood later in life. The book was well-received for its humor, honesty, and candidness.
