The Cast of Nashville Improv
Lacie Madison
Lacie was drawn to Nashville by the promise of bright lights and stages full of songwriters, while still only being a 20 minute drive to any part of town. She spends her days at Vanderbilt and assisting nurses. Her nights are spent cooking, visiting casinos, and at various trivia nights around town utilizing her homeschooled education to identify pre and post Victorian clothing, civil war facts and music from the 1970’s. Improvising regularly since 2008, you will find her running the business side of things, plotting themes & games for shows, sharing the magic of improv with students and her second favorite part of improv, answering the phone.

Amanda Tucker

Their love of improv started over 20 years ago as a street character and stage combatant at the Tennessee Renaissance Festival. They've worked in radio, theatre, and film locally.

Jim Seward
Jim is a former Military personnel where he visited sites in Turkey and learned to Scuba dive. Now he is a fulltime touring comedian and you can see him at clubs and casinos across the United States. In his spare time he loves spending time with his wife, cooking the tastiest home made jams and hot sauces you could wish for and caving.

Grafton Thurman
Grafton Thurman is an actor, educator, and improviser. While he's not 100% who's currently in charge of his own local government, he'll argue with you about fictional space politics all day. Born and raised in Nashville, Graff has somehow managed to avoid having too much of a Southern twang but loves learning new dialects. He hopes you enjoy the show and come back again!

Sherry Owens
Sherry got her start in comedy as a regular storyteller at The Moth, an international storytelling competition. She graduated from Ann Arbor, Michigan's Pointless School of Improv in 2018 and is currently working on her musical improv skills. When she's not improvising, she's out in the wild, reading books or concocting new paleo recipes.

Caitlin Thistle
Caitlin is excited to be back in the world of improv after a 15 year hiatus! Her work spans from musical theatre, independent films, and product modeling. After 5 years of professional musical theatre in New York she has decided that being landlocked and stuck with bad seafood is worth it, and has made a home here in TN. When she is not on stage you can catch her either grooming doggos or causing trouble. There is no in between.

Kelly McCoy
Kelly McCoy has been doing improv since 2017. She has completed the conservatory program at The Second City in Chicago; has been on short-form, long-form, and musical improv troupes; has pertormed in several comedy festivals with Stop Trying to Make Sketch Happen; and staged an improvised one-woman show featuring her fan-favorite character, Cinnamon. Kelly is a grape bubble gum and black cherry soda enthusiast. If she had a nickel for every time she ran across an injured squirrel and tried to resuscitate it, she'd have two nickels...which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. When not improvising, she gives neuropsychological exams at hospitals, which frankly should probably be given to her as well.

Will Henke
Will represents his parents' hopes and dreams. It remains to be seen if he will live up to these Dickensian expectations, but in the meantime, he has yearned for self-actualization and/or nirvana. This has manifested itself in things including but not limited to: Joining Nashville Improv (this troupe), joining Nashville improv (the scene), watching sports to let his favorite team ruin his day, winning Spelling Bees, playing sports to remind himself of his aging and the constant march of time, and graduating college. He would like to thank his parents, Mom and Dad, for encouraging him to find wonder around every corner and teaching him how to cook a burger. If Will had to describe himself in three words, they would be Rubenesque, Machiavellian, and gooty.
