I have been a performer for over 25 years. I have done stand up as well as improv and sketch comedy. I am also an experienced host.

Mike Amaral - Member Since 2010
Mike fell in love with comedy at a very early age. His take on "class clown" was something closer to one of Shakespeare's fools, always trying to marry wit with wisdom. He has completed Voice acting training with VoiceCoaches.com as well as Voice Over for Animation with VoiceStarz. Mike is a graduate of Improv Asylum's training center, and has been a member of their House Teams, performing in Boston's historic North End.

Jon Audette - Member Since 2008
Jon Audette has been acting for more that half his life. On stage he's acted
as a wide range of characters from Oedipus to George the under butler. On
film he's portrayed number different types of secret agents, a repulsive yet
wacky cult joining murderer, and a mute who feels no pain. He is a physical
actor who does all his own stunts. Jon isn't just all action, he has a comic
side as well. He loves to bring improvisation to the characters he portrays,
loves doing silly voices and accents, and acts best after a cup of coffee.
Jon is also a cast member of BYOI (Bring Your Own Improv) and enjoys making
himself laugh. If other people...

Randy Bush - Member Since 2010
I'm from Birmingham, AL where I got my feet wet with Improv for the first time. Did a few FYI queer comedy projects there. Then found what I thought was the love of my life, and moved me here to Providence(didn't work out). Since then, I've been writing stand up and doing what I can in the Improv scene here. I've taken classes at the wonderful Perishable Theatre as well as help them with some promotion and shows. When I was a little boy I was obbessed with mermaids and waterfalls; to this day that...

Henry Ben Clarendon - Member Since 2009
I first met Theatre while we were both in high school in Tampa, Florida. She was a bit cold at first: most of my classmates were far more talented onstage than I was. But she warmed up to me, so long as I hid my face. I found a strong passion for stage design and all the work it takes to run a show. You can learn a whole bunch about what makes a good actor from behind a light board. Ask any roadie. By some very large stroke of luck, I found myself at Brown University. While there, I got to join the cast of IMPROVidence (get it?). With their guidance, I was able to nurture and build those ridiculous and fundamental skills of improv...

Marina Clarke -
Member Since 2010
I am currently a student at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, RI and am studying Entertainment/Event/Sports Management. All my life I have been intrigued by the industry and performing. Although my ultimate goal is to represent talent, my love for performing is still strong and I have been involved with dance, acting, choreography, and even a little singing in past school choruses. My passion for the arts has helped me make up for the fact that I have limited formal training. During the summer months I work at Canobie Lake Park for the entertainment department doing pre-shows...

Jimmy Sorel - Member Since 2009
I love the world of comedy; from the small town stand-up comedy bars to sketch comedy on TV. I got my start in comedy in 2007 with the improv troupe ComedySportz in Milwaukee while on an internship. I continued to practice improv at school with RIT's student troupe, BrainWreck Improv. After graduation I moved out to Providence and took my love of improv with me. As an improv artist, I perform both short form and long form styles on a weekly basis. I am currently a cast member of Unexpected Company and Bring Your Own Improv. Also, I have guest performed with The Bit Players as well as Unexpected Company before I became...
