GLENNIS MCMURRAY (Producer/Performer)has been seen all over the NY comedy scene for years and has made a name for herself as a feisty, loud and fabulous singer/comedian. She helped form the musical improv group I Eat Pandas (TONY Critics Pick, 2-time ECNY award winner for Best Improv Group) which ran at NYC’s Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre for years, toured across the country and ran off-Broadway at NYC’s DR2 Theatre. Glennis lends her vocal talents to many radio and TV spots including the much-publicized E*Trade "Girlfriend" spot in which calling a baby named Lindsay a milk-a-holic ruffled Lindsay Lohans feathers and prompted a law suit. (Glennis can't wait to meet LiLo in a dark alley one day and pound the living daylights out of her for all the residuals she caused her to miss out on.) She can also be heard on mc chris’ upcoming album MC CHRIS GOES TO HELL as a feisty kid, southern trash and many other characters. Glennis co-starred & wrote promos for Showtime's The Tudors (www.poptudors.com), has made appearances on Conan O'Brien and The New Electric Company and loves watching true life medical dramas where people lose limbs. Glennis runs a stand up show in Brooklyn called Supercream Supreme! where she helps foster a positive environment for female comedians because lord knows there ain't enough of that going around. Check out her upcoming shows on her website and say hi if you come see a show, just don’t be all stalkery about it.

ARIEL GREENSPOON (Intern) grew up partly in West Virginia and partly in Maryland. She started acting when she was 4 years old and eventually learned to stop annoying the other actors.

Ariel is currently an acting major at Pace University and interns at Collegehumor.com. She can also be seen sneaking around Upright Citizens Brigade doing improv for whoever will watch. She is lucky enough to be a part of two improv teams, Brompton and Where Eagles Dare. Her favorite hobbies are sketch writing, stop motion animation, and getting crushes on nerdy writers.
