Born in Marin County too early for her love of Harry Potter to be judged “age-appropriate” in the eyes of society, Alisa has long been a student of all things weird and awkward. Her studies drew her south to UC Santa Barbara where she found a parallel interest in modeling (financial modeling) that naturally drew her to Los Angeles to work in the glitzy and glamorous world of corporate finance. Rejecting the draws of both the posh accountant nightlife scene and Harry Potter video on demand, Alisa spends her evenings as a vigilante improvisationalist and watchful guardian of the awkward, drawn by the credo “with great awkwardness comes great responsibility.

Josh Jones
Ever since his first starring role in his grade school’s play Nick Tickle: The Fairy Tale Detective as the eponymous gumshoe Josh caught “The Bug.” He has since tried his hand at a variety of types of performance on stage and the small screen. The one that he gravitated towards most was improv, having inadvertently made his first foray into the field when he forgot the lines of the aforementioned play. His ad-libs were met with a surprising amount of success, which gave him the confidence in his fledgling comedic abilities to strive to be the quick witted and somewhat inscrutable man he is today. Recently he went through the program at the Westside Comedy Theater and performs with the house team Big Kids every other Monday at 10:00 PM. His hobbies include spending way too much time playing video games, and making up D&D characters that he won’t have a chance to play anytime soon. Oh, he got a degree in Comparative Literature from San Diego State University, and his love for literature informs a lot of his comedic sensibilities.
