Instructor: Katy Jack
Katy Jack has been performing improv since she was a teenager, which
wasn’t so very long ago. With almost ten years of comedy experience,
she’s developed her own quirky style without ever losing her sense of
fun and play. Katy is a teacher and performer at the DSI Comedy
Theater in Carrboro, NC. Locally, she’s performed Harold with KEVLAR
and AU JUS, shortform with ComedySportz NC and Improv Slam, and
various longform acts like THE DARKNESS, ANCIENT ARTIFACT, and SUPER
SECRET SPACE BASE. She has performed at The Abindgon (NYC), ComedyWorx
(Raleigh NC), and Theatre 99 (Charleston SC). She recently appeared in
Ladies’ Night at DSI as a storyteller/standup and with DECENT RITAS, a
team of all-female improvisers.
Outside of comedy, Katy is a certified trainer at a technology
company. At home, she has a dog, a cat, and a manfriend who keep her
company and mostly out of trouble. She has most-but-not-all of a BA in
English and History from East Carolina University, and loves to chat
about poetry and colonial history.
Katy currently performs in DSI’s signature show, MISTER DIPLOMAT, and
on the Harold team, OMAHA 9. She can also be seen in LADY ROULETTE, a
two-woman show with Paula Pazderka. Katy is the director of THREE
DOLLAR BILL and the host of DSI's COMMUNITY JAM.
