Whats your name?
Kristen Loe
Which team or show are you on?
Trouble Town
Where are you from?
New Jersey
How did you get into improv/sketch comedy?
I grew up watching comedy but other than some comedy videos I would make as a kid, I didnt write or perform much. When I moved to NYC, a friend convinced me to take an improv class and I was hooked. Ive been steadily depleting my bank account in the name of comedy ever since.
How long have you been performing/writing?
About four years.
Who in all the world would be your ideal scene or writing partner?
This is a hard one to narrow down! Tina Fey, Amy and David Sedaris, Donald Glover, the cast of Monty Python, and George Saunders. I did a poor job narrowing this down.
Who would you most like to impersonate or write for?
Dr Leo Spaceman from 30 Rock.
What makes you laugh the hardest?
I love a high status idiot. I also will never say no to watching an epic fail video compilation.
Describe the soundtrack to your life!
A good mix of classic rock, rap, punk for nostalgia, and unabashedly some Pitbull because damn, he can crank out a good summer jam.
What's something you'd ask when meeting someone for the first time?
Do you have a dog? If so, can I play with your dog?
Where can we find you on a Saturday night?
I know it sounds both lame and cliché, but probably at home watching a show or reading a book in bed.
If you could make up an AOL Instant Messenger-esque acronym (G2G, BRB, LOL, etc.) that would apply to you, what would it be?
AOL acronym: LOF - let's order fries
