Jan Gass

When you are the second of five children, someone has to be the funny one. That is the role this New Jersey native took on. Learning improv from her father at a young age - making impromptu speeches about different topics - gave each child a few moments of individual attention and quieter dinners. When she could make her family laugh – Jan’s love for comedy was born. She performed in high school shows and moved to Los Angeles for college. After a few detours early on, Jan continues to pursue her love of acting, comedy and improv. Jan has acted in web series, short films, children’s theater productions, showcases and student films. Jan was the lead in the award winning short film "Mother of the Year" directed and written by Adrienne Zi. She has been awarded Best Female Improv Performer three times for her improv performances and Most Inspirational for her coaching and teaching of improv.
