Ryan McClure
Washington Improv TheaterRyan's most favorite things in the world are improv and cats.
Originally from New Hampshire, Ryan came to the DC area for college, left for law school, then moved back in the Summer of 2012. Ryan first dabbled in improv by taking short-form classes at DC Improv. His life changed after attending WIT’s Improvapalooza later that year, not knowing what it was. Ryan had never seen anything as funny or creative as the shows that weekend. He was a little confused, however, when, at the next WIT show he saw, it did not involve throwing plastic balls at the performers to make them leave the scene. Since then, Ryan has dived head first into improv, completing the WIT curriculum, taking workshops, volunteering, and performing with indie teams around DC. He has trained at the DC Improv (short-form levels 1-3), WIT (full curriculum + workshops & electives), Dojo Comedy (improv workshops & sketch writing), and the DC Drafthouse (sketch writing).
Ryan currently performs with the loves of his life in the WIT house ensemble Madeline. He dreams of one day having a cat and a dog who are best friends.
Ryan took his first improv class after making a New Year's resolution to try one new thing a month. Since then, improv has become a passion.
After finishing WIT’s level 3 class, Ryan started volunteering as a way to see more shows and get discounts on classes. Ryan has continued to volunteer because he finds it rewarding to be a part of the WIT community. Volunteering also allows him to meet fun and interesting people and learn more about improv.
