LoLo has been in the performing arts since she was in elementary school. She currently satisfies her comedy cravings by performing at BYOI, writing and acting sketch comedy, and binging the Big Bang Theory. She also performs short and long form improv at the Providence Improv Guild; which led her to audition for BYOI. She’s still pinching herself every day that she is part of our amazing cast! In her spare time, she is a Certified Reiki Practitioner and enjoys yoga, a hot cup of tea, music, poetry, and spending time with her friends.
Audrey Dubois
Director Member Since 2017
In her distant youth, Audrey performed with Wheaton College’s Dimple Divers. Upon graduation, she joined BYOI in order to keep the spirit of comedy alive in her heart forever. Audrey serves on the executive board of Swamp Meadow Community Theatre and is currently working toward a master’s degree in poetry (as if being a comedian wasn’t enough). She is making great strides in achieving her dream career as a philosopher hermit. In life, as in improv, she’s just making it up as she goes along.

Krissy first discovered improv through BYOI, and is thrilled to be part of the cast! Music and performing are two of her biggest passions – she has acted in dozens of musicals and stage productions, sung in choir and a capella groups, performed short and long form musical improv, and is a retired Princess performer. She works full-time as a marketing professional and in her spare time she can be found relaxing with family, playing with her dogs, or obsessing over unicorns.

Has loved improv since she was young. Born and raised in RI. Graduated from RIC in 2019 with a major in History. Would definitely consider herself a history nerd. Other hobbies include singing, musical theater, and playing the ukulele. Excited to be a part of BYOI

Carolyn has been acting since she can remember. She found improv through Bring Your Own Improv, and it has become her passion. She has taken many classes and workshops including BYOI’s youth collective. Currently a high school student at School One, Carolyn enjoys leading the school meetings and giving tours to prospective families. In addition to improv, Carolyn loves nerdy things like fantasy and math. Carolyn is so happy to be part of the BYOI cast.

Jacqueline’s passion for improv began many years ago, but after studying with the Groundlings school, it became apparent to her that she had more than just a knack for thinking on her feet. She is honored to add BYOI to her list of accomplishments, which includes numerous stage productions, singing in a choir, and being a Mom to three incredible human beings and 41 plants! When she’s not making people laugh out loud, well, mostly herself, Jacqueline enjoys cooking, yoga, and spending quality time with family and friends.
Tyler Vigeant
Member Since 2022
An Alumni of RIC’s Theater and Art program, Tyler took several Improv classes during his time there that furthered his love of the Improvisational Arts. Having been an audience member of BYOI for over 10 years, he appreciated the type of comedy that they brought to Rhode Island and had always thought it would be rewarding to be a cast member. (And now he can reap those rewards, HAHA!) Tyler frequently collaborates with Swamp Meadow Community Theatre and is the proud creator of the radio play Cyrano de Bergerac : In Space. He also worked at Disney World for 4 months once and won’t shut up about it.

Kerri is the self proclaimed Door Chick of BYOI and is rarely seen on stage. Hanging around funny people has not yet given her any comedic skills, but maybe it will happen someday! She likes hanging with friends for game nights, watching movies, assorted geekery, and Drag Bingo. She dreams of a future Tica life as a cat lady as motivation to finally learn Spanish.
