Memphis Worley
he/him
Washington Improv TheaterWhile exploring stand-up comedy in DC, a fellow comic suggested Memphis give improv a try—and he was hooked after his first Level 1 class at WIT.
Memphis has enjoyed building a well-rounded comedy education through a variety of classes, including WIT’s curriculum and electives, stand-up comedy at DC Improv and Laugh Index Theatre, and storytelling with Story District. Improv is his favorite for many reasons, but the motto “Got your back” is especially inspiring to him and embodies everything he loves about the art form.
When he’s not performing improv, Memphis has a passion for sampling doughnuts throughout the DC Metro area. He’s always on the lookout for new doughnut shops to explore, both at home and while traveling domestically and abroad. He sees the creativity and endless possibilities of doughnut shapes, sizes, and flavors as a reflection of so much of what makes life wonderful—including improv!
He’s a bit of a data nerd, too, so you might find him spending long hours perfecting data visualizations to analyze baseball statistics. Or you might find him blowing off steam at a pinball arcade. He also dabbles in tarot reading and has performed Tarot-Prov with the “Tarot Prov Players” for WIT audiences. He also performs with indie team “Traveling Tchotchkes.”
