Ally Beardsley
Current Shows
Ally Beardsley is a writer, performer and stand up comedian from beachy San Diego, California.
She began her formal improv training in January 2012, when she wandered into the back room of a coffee shop and met Julie Brister.
She's a newcomer, but considers the many summers spent watching MADtv at church camp, "very serious preparation" and not just "a way to get out of the sun".
In addition to Julie Brister and a VHS tape of Ms. Swan, Ally has also had the pleasure of studying under Rebecca Drysdale, Amanda Sitko, Eugene Cordero, Todd Fasen and Billy Merritt.
Find her buzzing around L.A. independent-improv shows or at any taco truck in Echo Park.
