Hi there. I moved to San Francisco almost three years ago from the sweaty city of Washington, DC, where I hammed it up with friends on many a do-it-yourself stage performing drag, in bands, with a karaoke mic in my hand or shamelessly shakin’ dat ass on the dance floor.

A native Bostonian, John likes to make people laugh and is thrilled to have the opportunity to do sketch comedy here in the Bay Area. Though a shy child, eight-year-old John found it fun and easy playing his first theatrical role, Pud in “On Borrowed Time”, his town’s high school play.

And then came “The Young Ones”, “Three of a Kind” “The Fast Show” …as a kid who grew up in the Thatcher’s Britain, amid coal strikes and the Cold War, these irreverent, smart and often political comedy shows stole her heart. Skipping school to

His favorite to date has been Liza Minnelli. He enjoys yelling at himself in the mirror and also enjoys reading Us Weekly, weekly.

Heather L. Damon discovered at a young age that she loved to make her friends and family laugh with goofy antics, funny videos, and general good-natured craziness in public. In junior high, she molded every school project into some sort of fun performance in order to entertain her classmates. Heather has played the ridiculous Witch Doctor Tutu in the play the Lost City of the Nunus, and portrayed a gruff voiced Heidi Klum in a take off of Project Runway.
