Sabrina Banes

Hi! I am an improviser, improv teacher, writer and Tarot reader in Brooklyn, and I'd love to coach your improv group.

I've performed as a member of house teams at Improv College (The Fae Team, Oops! We Fell In Love, You should Have Seen Us Last Week), the Armory (Varsity Bowling), the World's Greatest Improv School (Firecracker), and Rubbish Comedy Collective (Octopus Queen). I also study whenever I can and have taught at Highwire Improv and Improv College.

I completed the Upright Citizens Brigade core improv program in 2019 and the Magnet Theater core improv program in 2022, and I have also studied at the Groundlings School, the Second City Chicago conservatory, the World's Greatest Improv School and Improv College.

I've had the privilege of learning from terrific improvisers including Sebastian Conelli, Vinny Francois, Jaime Moyer, Alexandra Dickson, Louis Kornfeld and many others.

At the moment I perform regularly with my indie teams, Jace Spam and Dolly Lana, and am in the process of developing a new show with my Improv College group, set to debut in late January 2026.

My coaching rate is $25 an hour.

Let me know what you're looking for! I'd be delighted to help you along on your improv journey — online or in person — in whatever way I can. Looking forward to hearing from you :)

PS Please feel free to inquire about openings in my schedule not listed here; I don't get around to updating my profile as often as I probably should!
