It’s Stefan! By day, he works at a boring tech job doing data and analytics stuff that everyone immediately forgets about as soon as he explains it to them. By night, he is an improviser and comedian who produces shows and performs all over town. He started improvising in 2018 at the Dallas Comedy House and is currently a regular performer at the Dallas Comedy Club, where he produces the variety show Queer Factor and performs with the improv troupe Butt Gay.

Rosie Caruth grew up in the Denmark-themed tourist town of Solvang, California, where she raised goats and turkeys until she saw an episode of MADtv and became obsessed with sketch comedy. She began performing improv with San Diego State University’s Iota Eta Pi her freshman year, and has never stopped. She moved to New York City after college to work for horrible bosses in fashion PR and study improv at the UCB and Magnet Theaters — where met her husband, Ian. Rosie subsequently studied at the Dallas Comedy House, the PIT NYC, The Second City, and the Pack Theater, and is probably the country’s leading expert in Zoom comedy classes.

Ian Caruth was born and raised in Dallas. He began performing onstage with the nation’s longest continually-operating college sketch group, the University of Arizona’s Comedy Corner. Ian went on to learn Long Form improv in New York City at the Magnet and UCB Theaters, performing with The Future, Moxie, Dunk, and many other groups. He has performed and taught at workshops, festivals, universities, schools, and theaters in the US and internationally, and once played a piece of ham in a vending machine. He is way stoked to continue the tradition of theatermaking in Dallas with the Dallas Comedy Club (DCC).

Claire began her performance career as a professional ballet dancer in her hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana. She moved to Dallas to attend Southern Methodist University on a dance scholarship. After having the opportunity to perform works by Martha Graham, Bob Fosse, and some other dance legends, Claire decided to go ahead and hang up her dancing shoes to focus on less strenuous performance practices. As Director of Education at DCC, she aims to provide a high level of support for instructors and students. Her goal is to foster an environment where students can learn the ins and outs of comedy, how to be a professional performer, and (most importantly) have fun! Her favorite venue (after DCC, of course!) is telling jokes to her two dogs, who may or may not understand comedy.
