MEET YOUR IMPROVISORS

TJ, 33, he/they, As a recently released ward of the state, TJ hasn’t thought much about love. He’s a rambunctious sort. Exercised temperament. Impeccable teeth. Likes: strong, big lady (non-gendered), and Stardew Valley Dislikes: mushrooms and olives, Breakfast and other cereal, and the Treaty of Tordesillas.

Nick, 33. I know what you're thinking. "This guy looks like he could make me laugh over and over and over." You're right. I'll commit to anything. I'm not afraid to take risks and I'm not afraid to fail. If that scares you, then swipe left. Likes: cats, vulnerability, and my wife.

Maddy, 25. Freshly awakened from an enchanted slumber and looking for a better kisser!! Moderately challenging to fall in love with and also it isn't worth it. Likes: apples and pretty things. Dislikes: jealous parental figures and household items that wish to do harm.

Zoë, 29, they/them. Here, queer, filled with the overwhelming fear of failure. Soft and squishy in mind, body, and soul. Can be courted with knick-knacks and critters, dead or alive. I only wear my carabiner on the right side and I will not change it so don’t even ask.

Dani, 24. My improv group said I had to setup a profile on this dating app so here I am. Likes: Long conversations, people who make things, and playing games with friends both at home and on stage. Dislikes: Lying (I'm bad at it), relaxing (I'm bad at it), and the tiny little goblin man that whispers evil things to me from under my bed at night.

Tatum, 26, 5'1. Pisces. Looking for someone with a full head of real, genuine teeth. Heavy preference for frail, old nobodies with weak muscles and a complete skeleton. No living family or strong platonic relationships is a plus. Likes: hydrogen peroxide, cuties that do lights at improv shows, and Nick's wife

Ron, he wouldn't go out with you if you were the last person on earth. Mainly because he would be too concerned about what happened to everyone else. His first thought after a global extinction event definitely wouldn't be "Let's grab coffee at Hooked and go bowling".

Chai, 30, Ethnically ambiguous but always committed to the bit. Lived on both coasts but willing to settle down in the Midwest (at least for a long-term board game). Chooses words carefully for a living, but loves to let them fly wildly on stage.

Owen: 29, He/Him. Software developer by day - mediocre fencing student and improv performer by night! I'm a nerd looking for other nerds. Likes: Sci Fi, Fantasy, History, and long walks pretty much wherever! Dislikes: Things that I don't need to know the "lore" of.
