About

Hey! I'm Devin, I hail from the Chicago improv and sketch comedy scene. I trained at iO Chicago and the Annoyance Theater, before playing on multiple independent and house teams. I am a member of the Holy Fuck Comedy Hour, and sketch and improv teacher for the Annoyance NYC (currently on hiatus, due to the cost of New York Fucking City). I am also the creator of a workshop for women called, "Set Bitch Free" which focuses on building community and fearless play amongst female improvisers. The workshop runs 2-3 hours depending on your needs, and can be tailored for an all male experience as well - with a focus on ways to better support your teammates on and off stage - and the power of community.

As an improv coach/teacher, I am very passionate about tailoring the content of rehearsals to target your goals as a team. As a performer I've been lucky to play with large and small, wild and grounded, loose and technique focused teams. Just let me know what you're shooting for!

With eleven years experience writing and performing sketch comedy, I have a strong sense of how to reach the best presentation of your show. I have performed in both the New York and Chicago Sketch Festivals as well as the TBS Just for Laughs Fest. I was an ensemble member of the Annoyance Theater Chicago's Grand Opening Sketch Review, "Invisible World" directed by Mick Napier - and my solo/character sketch work was selected in a nationwide search to create a new talent sketch review for an audience of NBC Universal executives. I absolutely love improv, but sketch is my JAM baby!

As a director, I like to focus on the importance of running order, variety of content, duration, and rhythm - while always honoring your comedic point of view and voice. As a solo performer, I can also assist in the construction of timed solo pieces for the purposes of showcasing and auditioning.

Last but not least, I've trained with the Atlantic Theater School's evening professional acting conservatory. With this experience, I can help to improve performance technique, stage presence, and committed scenework in pursuit of the most exciting and engaging audience experience.

Hit me up if I might be a good fit for your goals! :D
