Graduating from UCLA with a degree in Anthropology and a minor in Human Complex Systems, he immediately traded his diploma for magic beans. Falling deep into the world of improv and sketch, Ali carved out a spot on the mainstage at Ultimate Improv and The Improv Space in Los Angeles, performing weekly with "The Board", "The Basketball Team", and as a finalist in the 15-week-long "X-Ecution" improv competition at iO West. Ali also maintains his Westwood ties teaching classes at The Improv Space.
Jordan Dunn is an improviser, actor, writer, and a son of a therapist. Unlike other actors, Jordan has no insecurities. This being said, don't ever mention his underdeveloped chin. A UCLA graduate with a degree in English Literature, his self proclaimed motto for performance success is Emotions are the barrier between you and acting good. Jordan plans to redefine the entertainment industry and refer to himself in the third person the whole time.
Actor, writer and vegetarian when it’s convenient. Chris has been doing theatrical competitions his entire life. He's won "the search for the best improviser in the city” and received several awards for his acting performance. His short films have been screened at Cannes, Sundance, SLOIFF & Out Of Bounds. 'The Mindy Project' on FOX, Adult Swim's 'You're Whole' and in the credits as a Creative Producer at MTV's Ridiculousness.
Born and raised in Santa Cruz, CA, John Davies first discovered his love for performance when he decided to take an improv comedy class at Cabrillo Community College. From there he never looked back. John attended UCLA where he began studying Theater while working toward his B.A. in Psychology. While enrolled he continued to study and perform improv weekly at The Improv Space and in other venues all over LA which is when he met the other co-founding members of The Wait List.
