I have since learned that “improv reels” do not exhibit much. The improv to video translation will forever be lacking.
Today I was asked for an improv reel, and here is an old one of mine. Mostly shows from 2-6 years ago:
Featuring mostly: “Dance, Magic, Dance!” and “Fooschwa.”
The phenomenal comedy duo “FrankenMatt” asked me to photograph the poster for their next show.
Here is our first poster mock-up:
Show opens February 3rd, at Second City Hollywood.
Apparently a video I helped some friends with just hit 100,000 views in Latin America. I guess ya never know.
Here is a brief clip of “Al Final Del Camino,” I play “girl with engagement ring.”
If you would care to see the entire video (some friends of mine lip-syncing the Spanish version of “End of the Road” by Boyz II Men,) please visit here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4LZxewn9yI
on June 7, 2011 I came home to see my neighbors had terminated a hive of bees in our driveway.
I understand they can be a great nuisance, but please spread the word that there are many companies that will re-locate hives at no cost. Bees are an essential part of our eco-system.

April 2009 my improv team “The Dollhouse” teamed up with our comedy-partners “Rigor Tortoise” and made a sweet picnic video.
I make a quick cameo as “sandwich girl” at 1:53.

I began improvising in Los Angeles in 2005.
I have toured with the musical improv troupe “Dance Magic Dance!,” the all-female troupe “The Dollhouse,” the short-form troupe “iD vicious,” and was a member of the Second City Theatrical Ensemble on the Norwegian Star, (plus more.)
I have studied at the Second City Los Angeles Training Center, and at iO West in Los Angeles.
I currently perform weekly with the iO house team “Waterloo,” every Tuesday night in the 8 o’clock hour, and am available for coaching.
I’ve collected various snapshots throughout the past few years, and put them in a gallery, for your viewing pleasure. Several shows went uncaptured.
