Oh hi, didn't see you there. I would love to coach your improv team/practice group or direct your Sketch team! I've been studying Sketch & Improv at UCB since 2015. I am in Advanced Study in both programs. I've also dabbled in sketch and improv at The Magnet, Reckless, and CSz Philadelphia. My Indie Improv team Carolyn has won UCB Indie Cage Match 3 times, and has performed at UCB Cage Match, DCM and Union Fest in Boston. My Indie Sketch team Gingham has been writing and performing together since 2017. I have tons of experience putting up independent shows, writing, acting, and directing. If you noticed, I'm not on a house team! BUT I'M FUN.

I'd love to get my grubby little hands on your writing and help you solidify the game, work on heightening and write the most batshit insane sketches possible! Also here to help you learn the basics of putting up your own show, if you need!

With improv I would love to help your team focus on agreement, listening, HAVING FUN, commitment, getting on the same page, object work, stage picture, and finding the simplest DUMBEST games and running with them. Boy do I love dumb. I'm organized and love a plan so if you let me know what you're working on I'll be sure to come up with warm ups and exercises to maximize YOUR practice time.

My rate is $15/hr and I luv 2 laff. Shoot me a message: Jalbanese8@gmail.com
