Molly Kiernan

Hello there! I currently perform regularly on Magnet house improv team Astro Tramps, and write/perform on Magnet house sketch team Chillionaire. I also produce and host a fundraiser/variety show called Molly's Guilt Free Comedy and Ice Cream Social. I have directed sketch writers and performers as part of the Magnet show Ringers, and have coached a great deal of indie improv teams, including a SUPERNOVA team. My training includes completion of the entire the improv and sketch curriculum at the Magnet, as well as the core improv curriculum and some advanced study at UCB.

Coaching is one of my favorite parts of being an improviser! My strengths include:

--Grounded scenework
--Identifying and playing game
--Character Work
--Strong emotional choices and commitment
--Exploring energy shifts within a form

Forms I've worked with and love include The Harold, Monoscene, Expansion, Nightly News, Spokane and more!

I've studied with Rick Andrews, Hannah Chase, Armando Diaz, Christina Gausas, Jeff Hiller, Nick Kanellis, Louis Kornfeld, Peter McNerney, Jana Schmeiding, Chet Siegel, David Siegel, Joey Price, Anthony Apruzzese and more.

I would love to talk to you/your team about what excites you/scares you about improv, and go from there!
