Instructor Bio | Emily Holland started performing in 2004 & got her first laughs in 2007. After receiving her BA in Theatre Arts from Clark University, she continued to work in their Visual & Performing Arts Dept. as adjunct faculty and student advisor, until moving to Los Angeles in 2014 (the first time). For 15+ years, Emily has worked on and off stage at ImprovBoston, UCB, iOWest, Impro Theater, Dirty South Improv, and now, Union Comedy. She has been fortunate to perform & teach workshops at comedy festivals all over North America and Japan. Her most cherished time on stage was a duo with Emo Phillips on Valentine’s Day.

Currently, Emily wears all possible hats at Union Comedy, including teaching one of her favorite classes to created, Applied Astrology—all those coffee table books finally paid off. She’ll know a lot about your chart & would love to discuss.

Union's Comedy School offers four core improv levels, plus a variety of advanced workshops for experienced players throughout the year. Whether you're brand new or looking to sharpen your skills, there’s a spot for you here. Not sure where to start? Just ask! We love talking improv almost as much as we love doing it.

Union Comedy is a small, growing, local arts organization that only exists because of you. Every ticket and donation helps us keep the laughter going.
