Kate Gauthier
Kate is a NY based actor/writer. Her performance career began as a principal figure skater for Disney on Ice (she’s Canadian - skating is the law), and she was fortunate to perform around the world as some of your favorite, overly wholesome characters. When lip-syncing to “Whistle while you work” ran its course, she wrangled up an artist green card, moved to NYC, and looks back only once in a while to eat poutine. She studied at the Stella Adler Studio for Acting, UCB and The Groundlings in LA, and can now be seen on several stages, in some commercials and crashing around as a stunt double in a few tv shows and movies around the city.

Brian Olsen
Brian Olsen is an actor, director and writer in NYC. He studied acting
at the National Shakespeare Conservatory and got his MFA in Directing from the Actors Studio at the New School. In days of yore he acted all fancy with companies like The Pearl Theatre, Gorilla Rep, Theatreworks USA, and the Washington Shakespeare Festival, but more recently he’s had way more fun as an improviser and as a member of the sketch team 15 Minutes Away and of UCB-NY’s Maude team After School Snack. TV appearances include a raving fanboy on BBC America’s “Doctor Who: The Ultimate Watch Party” and three seasons as a half-awake student in the audience of Bravo’s “Inside the Actors Studio” (none of his questions ever aired). Somewhat unconnectedly, but perhaps more interestingly, he’s also an author of queer sci fi and fantasy novels – more about that at brianolsenbooks.com.
TD Sidell
TD Sidell is a writer/performer who has written for the UCB Maude teams Presley, After School Snack, and Baby Todd. He's also performed with indie sketch and improv teams on stages all over New York. His written work has appeared on the web in Mel Magazine, The Boston Phoenix, and The Classical.
Ann Marie Yoo
Ann Marie was born and raised in New York and is the definition of a stereotype: Carnegie Hall performing, Ivy League engineering, figure skating Korean American. In addition to being stupid -oops- funny!(?) with this team, she can (eventually) see her at UCB performing on Maude Night. Credits include Dumb Money [film]; East New York (CBS), That Damn Michael Che (HBO), Gotham (NBC) [TV]; CLUE [theater]. Watch her try to be very unoriginally funny on TikTok @annmarieyoo
