About UnItv's Performers
We are incredibly lucky to have a cast of incredible improv actors!
Ashley Harrell
Ashley remembers thinking when she was a child, "wow... I bet it would be fun to make people laugh as your job." While she still doesn't make it her primary income, she's thrilled to be a part of the vivacious comedy community in New York. After living in California her entire life and studying opera at UC Santa Barbara, she moved to NYC to explore the East Coast's take on theater and music... and somehow ended up falling into the world of improv after taking a class at Upright Citizens Brigade. Non-profit director by day, Ashley spends her evenings maintaining the dork-status she has perfected by performing with her musical improv group, Zamboni! (zambonimusic.com) and hosting a monthly storytelling show in Park Slope called "Fireside" (firesidestoriesnyc.com). When she's not found on stage or at her office, you might catch her running along the Hudson River or trying to update her blog www.ashinthecity.com every once in a blue moon.

Megan Maes
Megan has been studying improv since the summer of '06 (WAY better than that of '69). She currently performs around the city with the indie musical improv team Zamboni! whom she loves dearly. Megan has studied at both the UCBT and The Magnet. She has studied with MANY but favors Ari Voukydis, Christina Gausas, Eliza Skinner, and Rebecca Drysdale. (Seriously, why are you still reading this and not registering for any of their classes?!?!?!?). Currently Megan is writing(both this bio and her one-person show) so stay tuned to have your mind blown. In the meantime you can catch Megan online with some of her favorite boys, Dr. Coolsex:
Past beloved teams include Joe Loves Hobos and Bedtime Stories for Kidnapped Children.
