Katherine’s Improv Journey & Experience

I'm excited to share my improvised comedy journey with you! Improv is important to me because I love to laugh and to make others laugh with so much joy. Improv also gifted me community when I didn't have it, reignited my creativity when it was fading, and it is something that gave me freedom to have fun and be silly without judgment. I coach and teach now, and that is what I want for everyone who joins my interactive workshops. FUN and FREEDOM in a safe space!

I bring years of experience to both the stage and the workshop space. I trained and earned a certification in improvisation technique and performance from Stomping Ground Theater and served as a coach with The Formula, an Improv Comedy Jam for Black improvisers. I was a member of the one & only all-Black lady improv troupe, Yo Little Friends, in Dallas, TX, where I co-produced, directed, and performed in shows. I also performed at Stomping Ground Theater and Dallas Comedy Club, and produced hit virtual shows with The Black Improv Alliance alongside incredible comedians, actors, and content creators. Along the way, I've had the privilege of learning in workshops from comedy greats like Lisa Beasley (aka Corporate Erin). Most recently, I've hosted improv workshops in the Mexican Caribbean for women to laugh, play, and create in a safe space.

Community is important to me. I believe laughter, creativity, and joy should be accessible to everyone. The workshops are fun, high-energy, and consistently leave people feeling lighter, more confident, and connected. I intentionally uplift Black women because we deserve safe spaces to laugh, be free, and create.
