Quinn Kelly
(he/him)
Washington Improv TheaterQuinn’s kindergarten teacher constantly reprimanded him for being too silly. His life has since been a bold act of defiance.
A D.C. native, Quinn developed his passion for entertaining unreceptive audiences while teaching English in Colombia. When the pandemic forced him back to his hometown, he decided to pursue his love of comedy by taking an improv class over Zoom. From there, he began an endless succession of classes, ultimately completing the curricula at WIT and DC Improv before joining the Harold program in the spring of 2025. He also performed with indie teams Leftover Donut Holes and Sass Factory during this time—once or twice for money.
A sometime standup, Quinn occasionally performs at open mics and dabbles in serious acting, taking classes at Theatre Lab. Though he has no pretensions of becoming a real actor, he will proudly show off his headshots.
Quinn’s other hobbies outside of improv include playing guitar, training in boxing and Muay Thai, and meditating to stave off existential dread.
