SEAN
CAMERON
Sean’s been with the group for a decade. That’s 10 years of hard drinking, all in an effort to hang with Tommy. And to prove what ten years of self abuse will do to a man, he’s provided a head shot of himself from his early 20’s. Now compare that to what you see on stage – not pretty. Stay off the hooch kids, stay off the hooch. |

MARC
FARLEY
Marc started his improv career back in the Coolidge Administration, back before some of these young upstarts were even born. Marc loves his wife Susan and his three children (that he knows of) very much. Look for him in the Johnny Cash biopic, “Walk The Line.” If he’s not in the movie, look for him on the DVD under “Deleted Scenes.” |

TOMMY
FUTCH Often called the Improfessor of Improv Comedy, Tommy teaches and performs improvisation several hundred times a year. Sadly, the quick-witted, one-timeonly nature of improv has destroyed Tommy’s long term memory and he can only remember things for 5 to 7 minutes. Those 5 to 7 minutes are pretty funny though. Enjoy him in small doses. |

ALLISON
GILMORE
One of the charter members of the bunch, Allison enjoys long walks on the beaches of her mind while sipping cocktails
just waiting for her kids to be old enough to kick out of the house. |

RYAN GIRARD Ryan has been with Laughing Matters for 5 years. 5 years?!?! Has it only been 5 years? Dear lord, when you look at your life, 5 years is important and you feel you should have done more with your life. Not just sit around and live like this for 5 years. 5 YEARS?!?! Thanks to all who made it possible. Shoot me now. |

MARK
HARRIS
Mark Harris is Atlanta’s longest running improvisational half-Japanese man. He has appeared in a variety of TV and radio commercials for companies such as The Weather Channel, the Atlanta Thrashers, and O’Charley’s. When Mark is not working, he enjoys staring endlessly off into space, which come to think of it, is what he does no matter what he’s doing. |

NANCY
MEYER
Talkative teaching artist; creative curriculum designer; challenged chauffeur; chief chef; groovy guitar player; certifiable singer; alluring alliterationist; Mom with momentum and wife still in wuv. What keeps her going? Her girls saying, “Mom, don’t stop doing this because no other mom I know does this.” |
 |
JAMIE
MOORE
Jamie has always loved doing Improv and wants you to love watching. Those with weak senses of humor should exit the auditorium and seek immediate pies to the face. If this makes you angry, go home and sit in a corner mumbling the theme from “Friends” until your lips are numb, otherwise… enjoy the show. |

AMBER NASH Amber has been performing with Laughing Matters for nearly ten years. Amber is also a member of the Ensemble at Dad’s Garage and is head of their education program. Why does she do it? Simply because she likes to see children smile. |

EMILIO
PEREY
Emilio, when not performing at Agatha’s Mystery Theatre has been with Laughing Matters since it’s conception and has
been happily married to Tommy since 1986...just kidding...yeah, right. |
 |
MIKE
SCHATZ
Mike rocketed to fame a couple of years ago when he became the national voice for Cingular Wireless and landed the role
of Emory on Cartoon Network’s hugely successful “Aqua Teen Hunger Force”. He promptly plummeted back to earth when he lost the Cingular Wireless job and owed the IRS $25,000 for the 2003 tax year. With that in mind, know that every show is a fundraiser for Mike. |

TIM STOLTENBURG Tim is an actor and improviser who has been doing improv in Atlanta since 2002. Originally from Wisconsin, he enjoys his Southern lifestyle of sipping Mint Juleps on the veranda and just passing the time away. Tim can be seen in other theatres doing plays, improv, and just being a man about town. So sit back and get
ready for your improv journey. Hope you enjoy the ride. |
