Justin Byrne

Justin has performed and studied improv and sketch comedy since 2002, when he was cast in his college improv troupe, Live Nude People (with clothes on). In addition to studying drama and improv at UC Irvine, Playhouse West, and Stella Adler, Justin has studied at UCB since 2011.

Justin is the co-host and creator of Rewrite Movie Night (UCB East), with Dave Bluvband, directed by Todd Bieber. He produces Indie Cage Match (UCB East) with Amey Goerlich, where he can be seen shooting photos, and attempting to entertain the audience every Sunday. He also makes videos with Horse + Horse, a really awesome UCB Beta team.

Justin has appeared on Underground Americana (UCB Theater), The Big Shrink (UCB East), and has been honored to write and direct for UCB Sketch Cram on a few occasions (UCB East).


Justin can be found uncomfortably writing about himself in third person in coffee shops all over the city.
