Molly Doan

Molly is a Los Angeles based writer/comedian from Wheatland, CA.

 

They have spent the last decade working in theaters and on large scale live events such as The Emmy’s, Oscars, American Music Awards, Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin' Eve, and the Del Close Marathon.

 

Molly first started performing shortform and longform-genre improv at Comedysportz Sacramento (RIP) and has since performed characters and improv at UCB, Groundlings, The Pack Theater, Characters Welcome, and in festivals across the country. They can be seen performing around LA and produce/host the Strawberry Jam: an inclusive & free jam for womxn, trans, non-binary, and lgbtqia+ performers at UCB every 2nd and 4th Wednesday along with The Shared Experience Show: a weekly improv show that showcases the incredible and ever-growing SES community.

 

By day, they travel to schools across Southern California with The LA Troupe, Theatre in Education, teaching workshops on classic plays & works of fiction, along with performing Fire & Burn Safety Shows in partnership with The Children’s Burn Foundation (if you get a burn put it in cool, not cold, water for at least 20 mins).

 

If you see Molly around, say hi and feel free to talk about anything improv, drag, or horror related. They also love coaching new improv teams along with coaching and workshopping original characters.

 

Molly’s work in the comedy community is inspired by and dedicated to the late and great Matt Russell who taught her that community can be family and you can never have too many bits.
