Lara Drasin

Lara Drasin is a writer, producer, and performer from NJ/NYC/LA (in that order). She’s a founding member of Wiggle Room, a graduated Pack Theater house sketch team that has won UCB’s Sketch Cagematch and performed at SF Sketchfest. They currently perform original sketch shows at The Pack on the first Saturday of every other month at 8pm.

Lara's soap opera parody short People Pleasers -- an Official Selection at the Austin Micro Film Festival and winner of its “Most Original Concept” award -- and her music video parody Main Course Energy (now a cult Thanksgiving Wiggle Room fave) have both been featured on WhoHaha. She’s also written for the digital sketch series Cory and the Wongnotes, praised by Stephen Colbert for its blend of music and comedy.

Lara trained in improv and sketch at The Pack Theater, The Second City, and iO West, and has performed standup and storytelling at the Hollywood Improv, the Comedy Store, and Final Draft Presents. She is currently writing her first feature-length musical and is seeking literary representation.

...While we're here, let it be known that she is also always seeking worthwhile local pizza recommendations, rare antique Facebook Marketplace finds, and heartwarming videos of puppies protecting babies.
