Nick Martinez
(he/him)
Washington Improv TheaterIn 2007, Nick moved in with random actor/waiter roommates in a tiny house just below the 101 in Los Angeles, California. Almost as a rite of passage for an incoming LA resident, he went with his new friends to see an improv show at iO West theater in Hollywood. For nearly an hour, two women created a complex world full of nuanced characters on the spot. Nick was hooked.
The thought of getting onstage himself terrified him, so in 2008 Nick signed up for classes and started performing with his first improv troupe, I Hate Arthur. In 2014, after a cross-country move, he joined Washington Improv Theater as a student and played with WIT Harold team Wallawoo. Since then, Nick has been an active member of the DC improv community, performing around town and producing a monthly show called Improv Pop-Up for several years.
He is currently a member of WIT ensemble Madeline and performs regularly with his indie team: The Cape Cod Home Wreckers Association.
Nick is a proud plant dad, a semi-professional photographer, and a very professional Gemini.
