Honored to announce that I’m on a new long form house improv team at Second City! Lots of comedy theaters around town have welcomed the iO cast offs with open arms and I think I can speak for all of us when we say thank you. Thank you. Hell yeah!

Now come check out Brother Bradley Improv! We’re up two Saturdays per month at Second City!! And we can’t help it…we’re dope as hell!!

As most anyone who’s been paying attention to the LA comedy scene knows, the closing of iO West was a shock. I started training there back when iO was on Santa Monica Blvd! If you don’t know what years iO was at that location, then it was yesterday!

The valuable lessons, connections, and stage time I had at iO, in no uncertain terms, helped shape who I am as a person. I met my improv “family” and all the extensions of that family, because of that place. From Hey Neighbor, Blank Label, The Outfit, PRI, The Cover Up, The Greene Boozer Elixir, and all the random shows in between, thanks, iO West, for having me.

Funny and angry. And pretty.

If you don’t know about the best headshot photographer in LA, it’s Stephanie Girard. She is so easy to work with, does fantastic work, and she’s just a lovely person all around! Here are some of the great pics she took!!

I’m very honored to be in the season finale of TEACHERS on TV Land. It’s a really fun episode about Mrs. Adler’s pregnancy…and I play an angry 1940’s protestor. How’s that for perfect casting! HA!

Hollywood Life did a little write up on the episode! Check it out!

‘Teachers’ Season 2 Finale: Deb & The Gang Take Us Back To The 1940’s

The episode airs Tuesday, January 16 at 7pm and 10pm and then again on Sunday, January 21 at 11pm. Thanks for watching!

Happy 2018! It’s almost impossible to believe it’s 2018. Holy hellfire. I’m gonna take that hellfire and put it in a SHOW.
