Richie Khanh
(he/him)
Washington Improv TheaterRichie Khanh thanks you for reading this bio. Sincerely.
Richie Khanh performs with WIT ensemble Uncle Gorgeous. He was fortunate enough to have been a part of WIT teams And, Scene!; Heavy Rotation; and Poetic Resistance. Since 2014, he has performed with dozens of indie teams, including Huggy Smalls, Asian Moms, and Shoes Off!, and has loved each and every one of them. All. Of. Them.
Richie grew up in the LA area – what’s up South Bay! Like many LA folks, he finds joy in tacos, the Lakers and Dodgers, and adding “the” in front of freeway numbers.
Richie Khanh loves improv and will do everything in his improv power to help you love it too.
Richie Khanh started his improv journey in 2014 and completed the WIT curriculum in 2015. His priority as a teacher is to help students achieve their goals, whether that is learning the fundamentals of improv, honing advanced skills, or having a fun, creative outlet. He seeks to foster a learning environment where everyone can be their sincere, earnest selves. Through teaching, he also finds worthwhile the exploration of the intersection of improv and philosophies like daoism, Buddhism, and existentialism.
“You could tell he loves improv and wants to share that joy with others. I appreciated his open-mindedness and relaxed demeanor.””Richie was so encouraging and thoughtful. His feedback was always gentle and he emphasized fun and independence. I especially appreciate how often he laughed and found humor in our class. I’d love to do another class with him.”
“Richie was a phenomenal instructor, he was able to find the perfect balance between 1) maintaining a fun and welcoming atmosphere and 2) keeping us focused on learning and practicing improv fundamentals.”
