Patrick Reidy

Hey, I'm Patrick! You may recognize me from being a Cagematch intern every week or walking around in the background of Nick & Norahs Infinite Playlist. I'm a freelance actor and improviser and I love coaching improv for people that want to improve their skills. I started improvising in 2004 when I co-created Salem State University's improv and sketch troupe, Grandma's 3rd Leg. Since coming to NYC I've studied at UCB with Gavin Speiller, Ben Rodgers, Anthony Atamanuik, John Murray, Doug Moe, Lydia Hensler, Patrick Clair, Silvija Ozols, plus workshops with Chelsea Clarke, Will Hines, Chad Carter, and Alex Berg. I've also taken classes at the PIT, the Annoyance, and independently with Mark Grenier, Stephen Soroka, Christian Cappozzoli, Jimmy Callahan, TJ Mannix, and Frank Spitznagel.

I currently teach long-form, short-form, and musical improv for after school programs at the NEST+M Academy, Achievement First and private workshops both educational and corporate with Eight Is Never Enough so my availability is flexible. If you would like to see me perform, you can catch me with any of these teams and shows:

Cuntgarden (Indie Improv Team)
Big D & The Closers (Musical Improv Team)
RoboPop (Hip-Hop Improv Team)
LMAO / Improv 4 Kids (Short-Form Company)

I also perform on the team Pencils Down for Boogiemanja, the monthly sketch show at the PIT Loft. I'm happy to help work on sketch stuff with you as well!
