Seattle Cast
(He/Him) Nicholas is a Tacoma native who spent a decade in Philadelphia learning the beauty of direct communication. While in Philly he was a performer and coach at Philly Improv Theater, performed at the Del Close Marathon at UCB NYC, and, for one muggy and Bolt Bus-facilitated summer, was a staff writer for The Onion.
Katy (she/her) got started doing improv at Third Coast Comedy Club in Nashville. She moved to Seattle in 2025, much to the chagrin of her already low vitamin D levels. She's game for all kinds of wacky performance projects, especially ones involving improv, camp, and audience interaction. Her favorite show so far was a drag murder mystery, where she played a vaguely European DJ who was - surprise! - actually a spy.
(They/Them) John Michael is a therapist by day and an improv comedian by night. They've been a fan of improv and comedy for as long as they can remember, but finally took the leap and got involved with Bandit Theater in 2019. Since then, they made it through the Wild West of virtual improv during the pandemic, have played on a couple of Bandit teams, and continue to love making things up with others. In their free time, you can find John Michael going to shows, playing Dungeons and Dragons, or hanging out with their girlfriend and cats.
Elizabeth (she/her) came to Seattle in 2018 for a tech job and stayed for the improv community. She is stoked to be returning for a second run in the cast of Inkprov. She is a cast member of Seattle Comedy Theater, and most recently, she directed Temptations of the Heart, an improvised soap opera full of love, betrayal, and appropriately dramatic revelations. When she’s not improvising, Elizabeth works in business development- a career that, as it turns out, also involves making things up on the spot and convincing everyone to go along with the premise. Offstage, you can find her hiking, cheering from the sidelines of a soccer field, or supporting the anti-trafficking nonprofit Nomi Network.
(She/her) Clare is a Chicago native and chronic name dropper who moved to Seattle in 2024. She started her comedy career in fifth grade, attending Second City summer camps and becoming the youngest girl ever to ride a train all by herself. Clare is thrilled to return to the Inkprov cast and continue her work on the pre-show playlist.
(She/Her) Sam has been performing improv and sketch comedy, starting in Chicago in 2016 where she learned from the best at Second City Chicago and CSz Chicago. During the pandemic Sam "quit" comedy, until she moved to Seattle in 2021 and discovered the welcoming and warm improv community that exists today! Sam is a writer and performer in the Seattle-based sketch comedy group Good Crash! She describes her comedy style as “super specific, but you’ll get it”.
