David Backer
he/him
Washington Improv TheaterAfter many years of thinking to himself, “I could do improv,” David confirmed that he could in fact do improv.
After completing WIT’s curriculum in 2026, David and his fellow classmates formed the indie teams Strategic Cheese Reserve and Watch Party. He has performed in FIST and Improvapalooza, and performs with his teams throughout DC. David joined the Harold program in 2026, finally avenging his (self-proclaimed) disastrous first audition.
David is from New York City, which makes him actually really cool and interesting (again, self-proclaimed). By day he works as a software developer at a startup helping cities and states reduce traffic accidents.
Outside of work and improv, David loves playing guitar, playing tennis, and watching more anime than he’s proud to admit.
