Brace yourself for some unhinged new characters. My Groundlings training continues with Writing Lab: IN PERSON! This is the fourth level I’ve passed in the Groundlings program, so I’m grateful and feeling proud. In Writing Lab, we develop characters and create scripted scenes. We have a final showcase on the Groundlings legendary Mainstage! The show will be on October 30th, the Groundling’s Main Stage is at 7307 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90046. 

My teacher is Roy Jenkins. Roy is without a doubt one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. Every Wednesday he performs in the “Crazy Uncle Joe Show” on the Groundlings stage. We’ve also performed together in a local improv troupe and filmed some comedy material together.

Here’s some more information about the incredible Roy Jenkins! https://www.groundlings.com/people/roy-jenkins

Info from the Groundlings website about the organization:

The Groundlings is an L.A. improvisation and sketch comedy destination of over 45 years, where we leave everything at the door, welcome and arrive from all walks of life, in hopes to instill a brave uncensored practice of examining and reflecting flawed/shocking/absurd human culture using the cure-all spoonful of sugar: LAUGHTER. Groundlings comedians drive a vehicle for human emotional processing and our brand of comedy is a language in which opposing communities establish a dialogue through a mutual decision to come unarmed. We are also the foremost comedy training ground in Hollywood and a springboard for countless careers.*
