Ben Siemon

[headshot] Ben is a improviser/writer/performer pleased to be part of the UCBTLA's Harold team, "Elroy" and "Extreme Tambourine" (a Maude UCB House Sketch Team). Ben's UCBTLA credits also include Freak Dance: The Forbidden Dirty Boogaloo, The Midnight Show, Live and Active Pop Cultures (his "kind-of" one-man sketch review show), The Anti-Prop 8 Show, and the fondly thought of UCBTLA Harold team "Hey, Uncle Gary!" Ben's credits also include crudely impersonating voices in the MTV's animated show Popzilla, and the upcoming film version of "Freak Dance" featuring Amy Poehler. Ben is a native of Phoenix, Arizona and has been performing improvisation and sketch comedy since 1998. Ben moved to Los Angeles in 2006 with a pocketful of dreams and a puce-green 2003 Pontiac Vibe, which has since experienced multiple dents. He has studied improvisation and sketch at UCBTLA, IO West, and The Second City LA. Outside of his performances on the UCBTLA stage, he also performs periodically at IO West, and considers himself an generally nice person.
