he/him
Washington Improv TheaterSome people look before they leap. Mikko looked for eight years.
Mikko first opened the WIT registration page in 2017 and finally registered for his first class in 2025. He completed the WIT curriculum in 2026 and has taken classes at the Little Theatre of Alexandria. He has performed in FIST and Improvapalooza, and he plays with the indie team Dearest and with Shoes Off, DC’s favorite all-AANHPI improv group.
Mikko grew up in the Philippines, an archipelago of 7,641 islands, watching gag shows like Ispup (the Filipino way of saying “spoof”) and Bubble Gang. These shows taught him that silly slapstick is a perfectly good response to real life. He moved to the US for a job in 2017 and has been bringing the silly with him ever since. His TV career peaked early: a national Colgate ad, for about a millisecond.
