These are the talented, hard working sketch comics that moderate our award winning message boards.

John is Admin and Webmaster for Sketchcenter.com and has performing sketch comedy for over nine years. He has worked with many sketch comedy troupes as a writer, actor and director. Currently he is the Artistic Director of Seattle based Train of Thought. His work has been performed at the Open Eye Film Festival in Toronto and Chicago Sketchfest. John has a BA in Marketing and Internet Development from Western Washington University and works in online marketing.

Matt began his sketch career writing, performing and directing original sketch comedy revues with the Mask & Wig Club of the University of Pennsylvania, the oldest collegiate all-male comedy troupe in the country. Matt is one half of the improv duo Wilma and writes for the satirical political organization Billionaires for Bush. He has studied improvisation at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and is a graduate of the Second City Training Center in New York, and appeared in that program's second revue showcase, A Time for Heroes & Hoagies, at PSNBC.

ALEXANDER ZALBEN has written and performed in shows and festivals all over the United States as part of the sketch groups Elephant Larry and Madame Funnypants, and as Producer of the improvised video show, Neutrino Video Projects. He is the current Artistic Director of The Peoples Improv Theater.

He has written for Modern Humorist, Jest Magazine, McSweeneys, and is the co-creator of the comedy website X-Ball Online, which receives over 20,000 visitors per month. His one-act play, "All's Swell That Ends, Will," was performed at the Telluride Theatre Festival. He has worked at Playwrights Horizons, the Public Theatre, Jean Cocteau Repertory, Dramatists Play Service, and currently Tisch's Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program. He has taught sketch comedy at NYU, The Calhoun School, and Lehigh University.

Ted Douglass has been producing, directing, writing and performing sketch comedy since 1996 with Portland sketch troupe, "The 3rd Floor". He is also one half (along with Andy Buzan) of the producing team, "Blue Door Productions" (T3F, The Gunhappy Theatrical Ensemble, Slide County, The Best Of The Best Sketch Fest). Watching, analyzing, discussing, and creating sketch comedy is pretty much all he does. Ted has appeared in a few independent films (feature and/or short), many commercials (playing "the retarded guy" or "everyman"), and once brushed against Rob Reiner's shoulder while he was trying to eat at Spago. He also enjoys quote marks, parentheses, taking slightly pretentious self portraits at the beach that end up looking like a slightly more handsome version of himself and writing in the third person.

Kevin blames his interest in sketch comedy mostly on the members of the Emerson Comedy Workshop; many of whom are now members of TROOP!, which he co-founded with them...which means Kevin is "enabling" said interest.Together, they have performed in NYC, Vancouver, San Francisco, Austin, Portland, DC, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Chicago. They have never played Vegas. Currently the writer's assist for screenwriter Robert Nelson Jacobs, Kevin studied at the Act One program in LA and his sketch work is taught in classrooms, both Canadian and American, and this frightens him. Kevin wishes that he were either David Bowie or Wolverine. He is married, drives a Saturn, and his favorite band is Led Zeppelin (as yours should be).
