Kristin Firth was a fan of improv since she saw her first live show in college, but she assumed the folks performing had been branded "comedians" at birth and she couldn’t find her brandmark. Then she realized "hey you can take a class to learn this stuff" and signed up for a week long "intensive" class and has been obsessive about improv ever since. Kristin moved to New York for a year and a half and studied and performed improv at all the major long-form theaters: The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, The Magnet, and The People’s Improv Theater. She also studied acting, voice, and mask work with William Esper Studios. In New York she was a member of Chantico Warfare and producer of their Indie Improv Amusement Hall show. Some shows you may have seen Kristin in since she moved back to Austin include A Sip of Chantico, Improv For Evil, Vinyl Destination, and mmmmK to name a few. Currently she performs with Skipfield, as part of the two-person troupe Firth & Arjet, and in the occasional Saturday night Maestro.
