Millie Hoffman (she/her) has been taking improv classes and performing since 2018. She performs regularly with Babeprov, Sandcats Improv, Marshmallow and Sour, and a variety of special projects. An elementary school teacher by day, she’s enthusiastic about bringing the joy of ‘play’ to all!

Jess Robey (she/her) discovered her passion for improv comedy six years ago during an intro to improv workshop, and she hasn’t looked back since. Based in Baltimore, Jess has performed at various theaters and spaces in cities across the East Coast.

Currently, Jess is a member of several Baltimore improv teams, including Babeprov, Croc Talk, Important Screws, Teen Angst, and the show she produces, Girl Talk.

Outside of improv, Jess finds joy in dancing, candle making, and writing. She sees improv as a liberating experience, allowing her to let go, have fun, and feel supported.
