About Katrina Charles
Katrina Charles has been performing improv since 2017. She has studied at Unexpected Productions in Seattle, Washington as well as The Upright Citizens Brigade and The World’s Greatest Improv School through their online programs. She is also a writer and musician and will probably have some sort of project done by 2046. Maybe 2047. Nah, 2046. She knows how to stick to a deadline.
About Jen deHaan
Jen works and teaches classes at World's Greatest Improv School (WGIS, the Grad School of Improv), and has taught at Queen City Comedy as well. Jen hosts improv jams at both schools, does improv shows (like this one!), and makes podcasts for small niche audiences. In the before-times, Jen enjoyed teaching dance fitness and performing in semi-rural vaudeville/burlesque themed shows both of which took place on stages made of wood. She likes making videos and podcast episodes five people listen to. Jen is still working on perfecting her Canadian accent.
About WNIS
This show is produced and directed by Jen deHaan of FlatImprov.com. Music, sound, and theme song by Katrina Charles. Special thanks to World's Greatest Improv School.
