ABOUT
I'm glad "you" asked. I'm a professional human and actor with a passion for performing - whether that's on stage, on screen, or at otherwise classy social events. I hold a BS in Theatre from Skidmore College, and recently earned an MA in Classical Acting from LAMDA and an MFA in Physical Theatre from the Accademia dell'Arte in Arezzo, Italy. Additionally, I have studied improv at Second City in Chicago and both UCB and The Magnet in NYC.
When I'm not receiving fancy pieces of paper, I act, write, and do improv and stand-up comedy. I am also a violinist/fiddler, professional mask-maker, and trained acrobat/tricker. So if you need a guy to do flips in a mask while playing Vivaldi, I'm your guy.Fun Facts:- I'm a total comedy nerd.- I enjoy learning TV/Movie theme songs on the violin in my spare time.- I am unabashedly in love with puns.
Welcome!

ME
Hi there! I'm Tristan, and I've been an actor/comedian my whole life. I've also had ADHD my whole life, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence...
I've trained extensively as an actor over the years, holding a BS in Theatre from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY, an MFA in Physical Theatre from the Accademia dell'Arte in Arezzo, Italy, & an MA in Classical Acting from LAMDA in London (where I notably played Hamlet in a production led by Michael Attenborough, renowned director & Richard Attenborough's son). Of my more recent & noteworthy credits, I played Apple co-founder & tech pioneer Steve Wozniak on History Channel's hit show "The Mega Brands that Built America."
As a comedian, I have years of experience in improv, sketch, & stand-up, and have trained at Second City in Chicago, and both the UCB & The Magnet Theater in NYC. Of course, my acting training has served me well in the realm of comedy too; studying/performing in the traditions of circus, clown/buffon, & commedia dell'arte has made me a highly attuned, dynamic, and versatile performer.
When I'm not performing I enjoy doing acrobatics, practicing & teaching yoga, playing violin, hosting bar trivia, and making my own crosswords (especially dirty ones, check the Substack link below...😉). When I say I'm a Renaissance Man, I'm not messing around!
