Laura currently lives in Amsterdam where she is a full-time cast member and teacher at Boom Chicago.

Before that, she spent ten years in Chicago. Laura earned a Comedy Writing and Performance degree at Columbia College Chicago. She has performed improv and sketch comedy at The Second City, The iO Theater, Logan Square Improv, CiC, The Annoyance, and countless wonderful little theaters that are now hair salons.

And before that, she was born and raised around Chattanooga, Tennessee. Laura spent her youth creating groundbreaking theater with friends such as the sketches, “Gangsters with Glasses” and “Do Ducks Like Donuts?” She did all of that at the place she owes it all to- the Chattanooga Theatre Centre.

Then before that, she was a baby.

Laura is represented by Falcon Artists
