Laura Thomas

Hiiiii.

I have been a wide-eyed student of improv since my first class in 2010. I write and perform a regular solo character showcase, LAURA THOMAS NOT ALONE, at Reckless Theatre, and I am currently working on a high energy exercise tape parody for the PIT's SOLOCOM. Both shows are personal and revealing, and hopefully identifiable. I am open and ready to help you find your voice. Let's talk about emotions and pain and stuff!

My idols: Amy Sedaris, Jenny Slate, Maria Bamford, Lucille Ball, Celine Dion

My strengths as a coach: listening, genuine laughter, spacial awareness/strong understanding of how to create the best visual picture on stage, creating a space where its OK to fuck up, pushing you to try something new, editing scripts and stage directions.

My weaknesses as a coach: I prefer to watch and side coach in the moment, I am not great at writing long notes to review. I will not understand Taylor Swift references.

My training: Stranger Than Fiction (NH), BostonImprov, the PIT, UCB, Magnet, Improv Training Hub (Krompf with Amey Goerlich), Reckless, workshops with Joe Bill and Kurt Braunohler

I'd love to coach your indie improv team, or direct your sketch show/web series. Email for updated availability and rates.
