Meet the Performers

Our Performers are the faces of our Shows, Events, Content & our group! They're tasked with fully Embracing Their Weird, which is a catchphrase of ours from our Classes. They're also constantly trying to listen, learn & grow so that they can be the best Improv Comedy performers in the RDU area! 

​

Learn a bit about them below, and if you want to become a Performer, let us know through the Class Interest Form. That's how everyone here started!
