Janet Varney

I never pursued anything in terms of performing comedy until I was in my twenties. I was basically forced into it by a couple of my friends who were starting a sketch troupe and thought I'd be good at it. I was kind of terrified by it, but I gave it a try. I am so grateful to those guys for believing in me and viciously twisting my arm!

American Actress

Deep Roy

If a scene called for numerous Oompas to join in a narrative song and dance, I would perform the steps for all of them with subtle distinctions of expression and movement. When the images were joined with the help of a computer, I became an entire troupe.

Indian Actor

Mae Martin

Canadian Comedian

Rachel Parris

I'd always liked having a laugh with my friends, and I'd done comedy in plays; but then my friends asked me to join this improv troupe and it went well and I started performing with them.

English Comedian

Kyle Mooney

In college, I pretty much abandoned music and started performing with the school's improv and sketch troupe, and at some point, that became my permanent thing.

American Comedian

Dave Foley

In a lot of ways, it was a huge relief, not being a member of a troupe, being able to make your own decisions and kind of live your own life.

Morgan Freeman

Acting means living, it's all I do and all I'm good at. If I weren't getting paid well, I would still be acting in a small troupe somewhere.

American Actor

Seymour Cassel

My mother worked in the old Minsky's troupe, which toured the country in the golden age of burlesque theatre.

Kelly McGillis

To me, acting is acting... I'd be happy working on a street corner in a mime troupe.

Selenis Leyva

I did sketch comedy with a troupe at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe.

Activity Focused

Temporary Grouping
