Improv comedy changes lives

 "I have worked with many directors here in town, and they will tell you that I am professional, easy to work with, and not lacking in the sense of humour department. I have experience working on plays, commercials, music videos, short films, television shows, and movies. I am always game to improv! I speak fluent English, French, and Portuguese, as well as conversational Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. I am also an American citizen with Canadian Permanent Residency (soon to become a Canadian citizen). Mostly I’m a huge dork who loves her cats and making people laugh :) I’d love to help tell your story, lets make it happen!" 

 Rosaleen Kavanagh has been acting since childhood and has trained in Improv at the famous Second City in Toronto. From musicals to commercials she has great versatility and range. She is currently a Co-Host and Co-Creator of Tastemasters, an Arts & Culture Web series in London, Ontario and is super excited to share her skills and experiences with Railway City Improv. 

Matt Grimminck has been improvising since 2016. He was an active player with Shut the Front Door until 2021. His comedy background also includes sketch and satire writing. He’s completed Second City’s Sketch and Advanced Sketch Writing programs. Matt also writes his own comedy/parenting site, The Juice Box Journals, and his work has also appeared in Slackjaw, Frazzled, and End of the Bench. In 2022, Matt has started his journey into teaching. In January he started Medaille University’s Adolescent Education program, where he hopes to start teaching high school. 

 Spencer graduated from Humber College’s Comedy Writing & Performing program in 2017. Spencer has performed in live musicals such as Seussical (in which he played The Cat In The Hat) and has appeared on the hit YouTube channel Good Mythical More. He previously worked as a comedian and DJ for Carnival Cruise Lines, but found that he prefers doing his comedy on dry land as opposed to a rocking ship during the rise of a pandemic. Some career highlights of Spencer’s include performing alongside Colin Mochrie of Who’s Line Is It Anyway? fame, writing for and performing with Sean Cullen, and doing an improv show with Kevin McDonald from Kids In The Hall.
