Jonah Gordon
(he/him)
Washington Improv TheaterMuch to his 10-year-old chagrin, Jonah was forcibly signed up for a week-long improv camp by his mom. Now he’s a comedy nerd. Mother knows best!
Jonah formally began his comedy journey when he joined an SNL-style comedy troupe in college and started an improvised character show at his college’s radio station. He has completed the curriculum at WIT and Annoyance Theatre in Chicago. At WIT, Jonah has played with Harold team Affordable Luxury, special production Beat the Bot, and the Musical Improv Conservatory. He became a member of company ensemble Nox! in the fall of 2024. With Rails Comedy, Jonah produces improv shows in the District and performs with his sketch team, Casubi.
When not thinking about or doing comedy, Jonah can be found solving crosswords, scouring the web for R&B bootlegs, or obsessing over soup. While they aren’t mutually exclusive activities, he’s never done all three at once. Yet.
