Born as the last son of the Atreides family, as his planet was about to explode,
PJ McNerney's family sent him in a capsule to Earth, hopeful that his natural powers would enable him to survive. Unfortunately, on the day of his arrival, he was bitten by a radioactive spider and caught in a gamma bomb blast, leaving him a slightly less than average human being. Learning how to speak English by watching Improv, he believes that the 'real world' to be a giant hoax put upon us by giant, super-intelligent machines that have been sent back through time.
Jonathan Townsager pours his life experiences onto the stage. And then cleans them up. You can also see Jonathan's insides through a device called an x-ray machine, but it's much more difficult. Jonathan's more notable credit's include being a naked boy in Naked Boys Singing at the Bailiwick Theatre in Chicago, playing a couple'a scallywags in an adaptation of James Joyce's Ulysses at the Irish Repertory Theatre, and gracefully taking on the role of Larry in Burn This with the Grace Players, here in LA. He can also be seen with another improv team at i.O. West, 540 Runaway, where more shenanigans take place. Jonathan would like you to know that BHS is not only an improv team he plays on, but also where he went to high school, and Townsager is not just a name, it's a t-shirt. www.townsager.com
Travis Guba has done a bunch of shit. It was awesome. He is currently looking to do some more shit. So if you happen to know somebody who is doing some shit, let him know. He also likes doing Improv and spending time with his daughter to whom he promised he wouldn't put up his normal "blow hardy" name dropping shit on this website. He also does some additional improv shit with Mr. Falcon and Extra Strength at IOWest. If you want to see some of his commercial shit, you can check it out on www.travisguba.com.
He no longer owns the shirt he is wearing in this picture.
With range described by one Industry Big-Wig as "not too bad," Tommy Bechtold has taken Hollywood by storm. You may have seen him as the 16 year old Football player in Fired Up, or as 16 yeard old Pete Yillardo in the film, Sophomore. He has also tackled the challenge of playing 16 year olds on House, How I Met Your Mother, Sonny with a Chance and The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Tom hopes to play a 16 year old in all of his Bobby Hot Stuff shows but realizes the window is closing rapidly as he recently shaved for the first time.
Kim Sigler is from Minnesota and is fairly, newish to LA. Kim has been a performer with ComedySportz- Twin Cities, The Brave New Workshop, The Minnesota Fringe Festival, Mystery Café, shot a ridiculously long- running commercial for a Minneapolis TV station, did a print ad for 3M where she had a camera 4 inches from her face for 8 hours, and numerous teambuilding/touchy feely/corporate gigs where she got a bunch of free pens, became addicted to hotel room coffee and discovered a crippling fear of heights. She also might have been struck by lightning.
Kristen Nielsen started her comedic journey as a baby when she was born naturally funny. She didn’t however realize her talent until the 5th grade when she brought an entire audience to its knees in laughter whilst playing “Adapearl,” the supposed-to-be-cast as an African American woman Good Witch from “The Wiz” with tons of attitude. At that first moment on stage, Kristen felt the itch and caught the comedy bug. Since then, Kristen has elated audiences performing improv with Comedy Sportz, MRS Degree (at alma mater University of Southern California), LA Connection, Laughs On Demand, and now with the famed “Bobby Hot Stuff” at i.O. West. You can also continue to see Kristen break racial boundaries on the board of directors for The American Latino Theatre as their Children’s Theatre Liaison, where she has also starred in original plays Virgin Love and Hello and Goodbye. Come to a show and feel blessed.
