Randy Reese Randy is credited with bringing comedy improv to Buffalo when he founded ComedySportz of Buffalo in 1993.  Randy has trained literally tons of improvisers and has performed, so far, in a dozen ComedySportz cities.  Randy has appeared as Buffalo Bisons Baseball mascot “Howie the Ump” and he is currently a member of The Wondermakers theater troupe.  He has additionally trained with The Second City in Toronto, and has performed with Cat Venom, Improv Buffet and Nuts & Bolts.  
Bill Baldwin Bill comes to ComedySportz with a background as a Ringling clown, stage actor and vocal re-enactor (he does impersonations).  He also performs behind the scenes at many area theaters as a "Tech Guy", but Bill is more well known to locals as "Black Bart Brandon" at Martin's Fantasy Island's Western Shootout.  He is not, however, related to Alec.  Est. 2005.
Alan Baumgardner Alan wasted a perfectly good MIT diploma to be co-founder of Chameleon Communications, a Buffalo recording studio. He produces many of those annoying radio commercials and jingles that make you wear out the pushbuttons in your car radio.  He also came in second on Jeopardy!  Est. 1995. 
Tim Dickinson When Tim's not making delicious meals for you and your family as a chef at Wegmans he's saving lives in his home town as a firefighter.  And when he's done with that he races down to the Riviera to make you laugh uncontrollably.  Don't worry, the answer to your question is yes, he still has that addicting smile.   Est. 2004. 
Dan Dore Already holding a degree in Broadcasting, Dan is currently seeking his Masters in Creative Studies at Buffalo State College.  Dan is also a graduate of The Second City Conservatory in Toronto.  Additionally, Dan is a marathon runner and lead singer and songwriter for an alternative rock band, whose name we will not disclose.  In his spare time, Dan is trying to be canonized as the Patron Saint of Parking.  Help him, won't you?  Est. 1998.
Dale Fischer One of the newest members of Comedy Sportz, Dale brings an old-school rappin' breakdancing sort of flavor to the stage. A former break-dancer and local lip sync legend he has found a new home in the improv world. While he's mostly known for his role as King Big Head in fourth grade he has found his love of improv to be second only to his family and three beautiful children. Oh, and video games and homemade chocolate chip cookies and most kinds of reality TV shows. So next time you see him, ask him to kick an old-school beatbox for you unless of course you want to challenge him to a battle. Est. 2007
Lesley Gouger Lesley is finishing her MA in psychology, and yes she can read people’s minds. She is a former member of Lipschtick, a Seattle based improv troupe and has performed locally with Cat Venom. She enjoys wearing hats, Chinglish, and the vocal reproductions of the lyrebird. Her favorite myth is “Bubba Vomits Up the World.” Highlights from her life: once she was mistaken for a Taiwanese woman, she was in a play with Davy Jones, and she is one of the funniest people that somebody knows.
John Kehoe John has performed improv with Improv Buffet.  In John's future is a career as a traveling historian.  Complete with leather elbow patches.  He has played professional dodge ball and currently pays the bills as a UPS delivery dude.  Please don't ask him what brown can do for you, unless you're serious.  Est. 2004.
Paul Moth Former host of Canadian radio programs The Great Eastern and Sunny Days & Nights, Paul is also the author of The Rocky Road to Recovery: The Paul Moth Story.  Sadly, Paul has never been seen on our stage, but he is always in our hearts.  Est. 1998.
Joe Piazza Joe's theatrical debut was in his high school's musical production of Hair.  His theatrical debut at the University of Buffalo was in a musical production of Hair.  Dramatic irony or mere coincidence?  He left UB without further ironic digressions but with a degree in Digital and Performing Arts.  Joe's since been in everything from Shakespeare, to Godspell, to Tommy, to Jesus Christ Superstar; to Enter Laughing.  Ask yourself, is Joe's hair loss is due to the toaster that hit him on the noggin while sitting in his highchair (at a tender age but fortunately not with a tender skull) or is it just genetic after all?  Est. 2004.
Richard Satterwhite Richard is an alumnus of Carnegie Mellon University and has over twenty five years experience as an actor.  He is co-founder and managing partner of BusinessTheatre Works, LLC--an interactive, theatrically-based workplace training company for which he has been a producer, director, writer and actor.  Richard also continues to do print, film and commercial work.  Est. 1996.
Fred Scheck

Fred loves playing tons of roller hockey andis a graduate of ComedySportz workshops. The big guy always wanted to be on the big stage and as a young boy was the clown of the family, recreating Cheech &Chong skits. In high school he improvised his way through a skit as a body guard which drew rave comedic reviews.

 
Brian Tabak Brian, fresh off earning a Master's Degree in creativity, is a substitute teacher who thinks baseball needs to ditch the DH, complacency is the most dangerous state of mind, gummi worms are the answer to all life's problems, board games are incredibly underrated, Justin Timberlake should disappear forever, parents should spend more time with their children, paintings that don't make sense are the only ones worth looking at, and this is one of the longest sentences ever.  Est. 2004.
Dennis Upton In addition to his improv work with ComedySportz, Dennis performs regularly  with Actors Anonymous Theatre Co. in productions of Tony 'N Tina's Wedding, Bug Files and Doctor You're Trying My Patience.  With the Niagara Regional Theatre Guild, Dennis performed in such shows as The Crucible and Music Man among others.  Dennis is a retired teacher who taught in Ken-Ton. "You are only young once, but you can be immature your whole life," is his mantra.  He wants everyone to know that if you rearrange the letters in his last name, it spells "to pun".  He will give you examples of his puns even if you don't ask.  Est. 2003.
