About Bart: Bart is a graduate of Rutgers University with a BA in Theatre Arts. He is a professional actor (SAG/AFTRA) and award-winning improv performer/teacher who has appeared on TV, in film, on stage and at some of the finest comedy clubs in the country. Bart has over 25 years of expertise in improvisational acting and teaching. He has performed and taught for Groundlings East and Gotham City Improv in New York City, and The LA Connection Comedy Club in Los Angeles. Bart has called Grand Rapids home since 2012 and has performed regularly at GRCT and other venues around town since. He is the author of the book HEALING IMPROV: A JOURNEY THROUGH GRIEF TO LAUGHTER and is a nationally recognized speaker and presenter at grief conferences, using improv workshops to help those struggling on a grief journey. Bart loves seeing the effect improv has on students, and seeing the “light turn on” when they experience the power of “Yes, and…” both on stage, and in their everyday lives.

If you haven’t heard of Lace Larrabee, you will soon. Lace is a nationally touring comedian, actress, and host whose debut comedy album, White Trash Cinderella, produced by 800 Pound Gorilla Records, sealed the number one spot on the comedy charts. The accompanying YouTube special amassed over 1 million views and counting.  

A former southern beauty queen, Lace ditched the pageants but kept her dominant stage presence, unrivaled timing and trademark sass. As a season 17 semifinalist on America’s Got Talent, America loved her charming wit so much, NBC brought her back to roast Simon Cowell alongside Roastmaster General himself, Jeff Ross. Lace turned her appearance on AGT into a Vegas residency as host of America’s Got Talent Superstars Live.
