About the Artist

Elena Martinez is an award-winning storyteller and theater maker who explores the dark comedy of what it means to be alive. She brings over a decade of experience in improv and sketch comedy to the stage, underlined by a childhood of classical piano training. Her first solo show, “One Night in Aurora”, debuted at Sketchfest Seattle in 2017 – a musical and stream-of-consciousness retrospective about love, dreams, and misunderstandings. Elena’s ensemble sketch comedy group, Getting Naked with Friends, performed headlining sets at Seattle Sketchfest in 2016 and 2017. Her duo, Sober Virgin, with Anthony Householder, explored the altered perspectives of codependency and addiction in their 2018 show “Short Stories”. Before relocating to Los Angeles, Elena toured her holiday musical parody duo show with Rachel Walls and joined the illustrious cast of beloved Seattle improv show Uncle Mike Ruins Christmas. You can catch her regularly performing in and out of Los Angeles with her indie improv team, Dough Dough, who has performed at Das Improv Festival, London Improv Festival, Del Close Marathon, ioFest, and many others.

Franny Harold is an award-winning writer, performer, and clown from New Orleans. She has a degree in film and theater from the now-defunct University of New Orleans, and has been an improviser for over a decade. She is currently a member of the clown ensemble, Holy Holy, and sketch troupe, Goose. She’s taken original works to Moontower Just For Laughs, San Francisco Sketch Fest, and Frontera Fest.
