Thomas Fricilone

Hello, New York, I'm such a silly boy for improv! I am a performer, improviser, and writer based in Brooklyn. My main training comes from Annoyance Theatre which means big emotions, strong choices, and wigs!

IMPROV: I'm not concerned with game. I focus on emotional output. How do you convince an audience of your character? How do you get them not just to laugh with you, but worry, shiver, and cry?

It means telling stories over jokes. Listening over talking. And Committing!

SKETCH: I have worked with many comedians writing sketches for stage and video. I am creative director of Ground Floor Comedy and have experience finding a structure to a silly idea. My focuses include: building upon small ideas, finding the funny and improving upon it, and getting the damn thing written down!

DIRECTING: I have written and performed in shows including Dingleberry Theatre Foundation presents: Mandatory Seminar, Love Ain't Never Gonna, and The Siblings. Writing these shows have given me perspective on what a needs to be done and how to make a story engaging to the audience. I would love to help you find your story!

Along with Annoyance, I have studied at The Barrow Group for acting, produced and written for Ground Floor Comedy, and have articles published on The Hard Times and The Tusk.
