A Comedy of Disasters

Allison Cochrane

Allison Cochrane (She/Her/Hers) is THRILLED to be joining the cast of Comedy of Disasters (especially since this show is finally making her an EGOT winner)! Allison is a southern gal turned city girl originally from Raleigh, North Carolina. She graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a BA in Comedy Writing & Performance, so she's really smart! Allison is a funny girl, she loves attention, & she WISHES Walgreens & Diet Coke sponsored her. One time, Bob Saget told her she was a comedian…she’s been riding on that high ever since. CHEERS!

Chris Dritsas

Some say Chris Dritsas was born in the Sewer Systems of New Mexico and subsisted on whatever floated up to his cage. Others say he's from Minneapolis, has degrees in Theatre Performance and Filmmaking, and is in Chicago pursuing comedy. Nobody knows the real truth.

Emilie Hapgood

Emilie is titillated to be a part of A Comedy of Disasters because it's not only fun, but she also likes it. She enjoys many things: Diet Coke, Canva, and learning how to parallel park. When she is not playing Allie, you can catch her doing two-prov with her team: Friends with Benefits, or playing around in Wheel of Improv, ComedySportz, and Girl Party. She loves getting tips or compliments (but tips are preferred).

Mason King

Mason King is from Dallas, TX and made his move to the bigger, much colder city of Chicago in 2021. He has taken improv classes at Four Day Weekend Comedy (Dallas, TX), The Annoyance, and recently graduated from The Second City Conservatory/Grad Revue program. He is a member of iO's new "Verified Improv All-Stars" house team "Kohl's Cash" that performs every Wednesday/Saturday/Sunday night. His recent works include Father Wayne in "Goodnight Gladys", "Voila: The Improvised Musical" at iO, Nick in "It's Christmas Goddammit", Riff and The Bum in "Splatter". He would like to thank the cast, crew and the very talented Zach Hacker for this awesome opportunity.

Christen Krasch

Christen Krasch began stealing at the age of 7 from her first grade teacher Mrs. Hayward. Through perfectly executed slight-of-hand she pilfered small rubber ducks (the ones with different outfits and personalities) from the classroom’s “virtue basket”. By the end of the school year she’d accumulated 42 different duckies and a very guilty conscious. Luckily she lives in Chicago now, where stealing is legal.

Jamie McInerney

Jamie McInerney (they/she) is a Chicago-based improviser and actor from “the burbs”. When they’re not smooching onstage in “A Comedy of Disasters,” you can find them improvising with teams Denim, Lung Switch, and Assigned Reading. Jamie enjoys biking around Chicago on flat tires and eating Target brand rice krispy treats. She’s stoked and grateful to be apart of the CoD cast.

Allie Ring

Allie Ring is grateful to perform in one last piece of scripted work while in her 20's before she turns 30 & starts to shrivel up. You can also see her in ComedySportz Chicago, or sitting alone in the condo she bought last year (it was expensive, so she's going to be in it as much as possible). She's excited to have made new friends being in this show, and be able to perform alongside her ex, Ryan Wenzel. Allie is represented by Grossman & Jack Talent. Follow her on social media—she loves the validation.

Michael Serio

Michael Serio is a character and sketch comedian who grew up in Denver, CO. He has no formal theater training and thinks plays are for nerds. Learn to do something cool like score a touchdown or shotgun a beer, lame brain.

Ryan Wenzel

Ryan Wenzel is happy to be here.

Zach Hacker

Zach Hacker is so excited to share this play. This experience and this cast has been wonderful! Zach has directed movies plays and written many shows from the Disney Musical satire "When You Wish Upon a Star" and the mockumentary feature film "The Cult of Two," which he also directed.
