About

I'm a comedy transplant from New York; I performed every Tuesday at the Magnet with my musical improv house team Kid Detectives, in addition to performing in a variety of regular shows at the PIT and a handful of one-offs at UCB. Here in Los Angeles I performed Sunday nights at UCB Sunset with Almost Midnight, my musical Mess Hall team, and with a few indie teams wherever there was stage time to be had. When I'm not doing those things, I can be found bouldering, tinkering with film cameras, or wishing I was coaching your new improv teams, your old improv teams, or even your musical improv teams.

I focus on listening actively and responding honestly. I encourage clear framing that leads to fun games and behaviors that are simple to play, and tons of fun to heighten with your unique style of humor. For musical teams I can help develop methods to build cohesive stage pictures and group choreography, crack down on song structure, and foster the theatrical and emotional commitment that helps get to songs quicker (which leads to more scenes and songs in short, indie musical improv sets!)

I've studied at UCB since 2012, learning from teachers like Don Fanelli, Anthony Atamanuik, Will Hines, Molly Lloyd, Tim Martin, Ryan Karels, and Kerry McGuire. On the Magnet side of things, I've taken classes with Michael Lutton, Jon Bander, and Chet Siegel. I've also had countless other coaches who are titans of comedy in their own right.

I have experience with lots of forms and openings, including but not limited to: Pattern Game, Harold, Deconstruction, Organic, Spokane, Montage, Same World, Thematic, Monoscene, Macroscene, Sound & Movement, Flocking, and Documentary.
