PJ Nally

Actor and Co-Producer

PJ Nally (he/him) takes pure joy in improvising. Seven years ago, he tried improv for the first time and realized it was a lot more fun than the Masters in Public Administration he was pursuing, so he kept coming back to it. Once he discovered that you could improvise entire plays and musicals, he knew he'd never stop.

PJ currently performs in New York City with Hell Yeah!, The Daily Harold, Easily Annoyed, and Magnet Theater house team Middle Brain. He’s studied with some of the best improvisers on earth and never wants to stop learning. Also, he’s 6’2” and not afraid to throw his limbs around to make people laugh.
