Wry vs. Dry

Dan’s been doing improv since 2001, though not continuously — he occasionally wandered off to do other things, as one does. He’s performed both competitive short form and long form on teams at ComedySportz and All Out, mixing character voices, crisp game play, and the dry British/Canadian humour you get from growing up on Monty Python and Kids in the Hall. He’s also known for "challenging" his teammates with surprise songs, improvised poetry, or whatever else seems amusing in the moment. They love it. They do.

Yap began his performing career with a summer job at California’s Great America as a costume character. Simultaneously, Yap signed up for his first improv class at Ohlone College and has since taken a multitude of classes at ComedySportz and Made Up Theatre, and workshops and intensives at Improv Utopia and The Annoyance. Over the course of 9 seasons at CGA, he performed in various shows and has been a monkey, Gingerbread Man and a French Candy General at the amusement park. Yap is now a proud cast member of Made Up Theatre and ComedySportz San Jose, and a troupe member of Worlds Collide, Bottle Episode, and Improv Circus!

Dylan is a comedian, educator, and musician in the Bay Area. His offbeat sense of humor can be seen in his improv, standup and often absurd sketches. And while he now spends his days producing and coaching, his past is marked by a stint as a tsunami hunter – a job that was as unpredictable as his shows.

Christian has lived most of his life in the San Francisco Bay Area and gets disoriented if not around mountains or large bodies of water. He began his formal improv education at All Out Comedy Theater in 2021 and has performed on AOCT House teams since 2022. From working “in the booth” for dozens of shows in the theater since 2023, to teaching, hosting open jams to performing standup, Christian has been standing in front of the improv/comedy firehose full blast. When he’s not going down some other rabbit hole, you can find him wrangling a feral teenager and learning how to cohabitate with an apex predator named Moose.
