Coaches

Dylan is a comedian, educator, and musician in the Bay Area. His offbeat sense of humor can be seen in his long and short form improv, standup and often absurd sketches.

I focus mainly on game based longform improv, helping teams develop their show format and team voice. But I’m also happy to run game reps with newer teams trying to supplement their time in classes. I currently coach the teams for the Your Fucked Up Relationship shows at Endgames Improv in SF, as well as a few indie groups.

Colorful. Energetic. Genuine. Find your focus with the joyful and rebellious nature of improv. David is the founder of Spats Improv in Berkeley CA, and teaches improv across the Bay Area at Provocation Theatre, All Out Comedy, and Improv Central. He has dueling obsessions with UCB style game, and Second city short form, which has led him to performing at SF Sketchfest and the premier queer comedy festival of the Bay Area: Yas! And Fest in 2025 and 2026.

Shawn is an improviser, actor, and voiceover artist in San Francisco. He teaches acting and improv at Community School of Music and Arts, MadeUp Theatre, and Team Theatre. As a graduate of UCB, Leela, iO, and SAK Comedy Lab, his skillset ranges from grounded and dramatic to game and the absurd. You can see him perform in the local troupes Sass Factory, Required Taste, Wizprovised Comedy, and Orange Slice.

Karen has been performing since 2008 and is the author of "Improv for Gamers." She loves the surprise and delight of the unexpected in improv, and treating the comical and absurd with genuine emotions. She'll help your troupe find their signature style and elevate your scenes.

In the last two decades I've trained at The Annoyance, iO, BATS, CIU, and I'm on several teams at All Out Comedy and Provocation Theatre. If your team is trying to build a show format together or is just trying to get better at one specific skill but you all have different learning styles, I can help with that! I generally try to lean towards side coaching over end notes so you can experience other options in the moment.
