Members of Sketch 22


Natalie Baseman
Natalie loves making people laugh. She also loves brewing coffee, reading her thesaurus, writing long emails, adventuring around campus, meeting new people and looking at pretty textiles. This is her last year at Umass where she has been member of SVP since her second semester. Oh! She also loves mix tapes. And Steve Jobs.

Gregory Boczenowski finds you sexy. No, not in a slutty disgusting sexy, but a respectful sexy, the kind of sexy that always uses a condom. And not in a Margaret Thatcher kind of respectful sexy but a primal kind of Kathy Bates respectful sexy. That is what Greg brings to Sketch-22 since Fall 05.

David Goldman is the funniest man alive. If you don't believe that then your comedy pallet must not have ripened yet. David has been a member of Sketch 22 since the fall of his sophomore year and he has been called the messiah of the troupe. David does not mind dating his fans, so if the mood strikes you and you're extremely attractive then let me know (I mean let David know). David also shares the late Sadaam Hussein's birthday.

Rachel Kador
Rachel Kador joined Sketch-22 and SVP in the fall of 2006 after a stunning high school acting career where she appeared in plays like Feiffer's People, All My Sons, The Crucible and even directed two herself: The Actor's Nightmare and God: A Play by Woody Allen. Rachel spends most of her time sending mass emails and watching Scrubs reruns.

Jay Petrone’s rocket-ship ascent into the mesosphere hit its apex in the Fall of 2006 when he was inducted into the SVP Rock and Roll Hall of current funny-bunnies, performing with Sketch-22 and MISSION: IMPROVable as “Action”. Jay is in his second year at UMass, loves to play tennis, and doesn’t know the meaning of the word “quasi-biennial oscillation”, apparently.

Sam Punia
Originally born Ronin Powride, Sam was adopted by two loving Vermonters in 1986. He grew up loving two things: snow and theater. He starred in his first on-stage porno in 2003, but quickly grew tired of the constant STD testing and moved onto bigger and better things – lighting design and sketch comedy at UMass Amherst. (Adaptation of a Biography by Josid Ridolfo).

Erik is not the first Mandolorian to be in SVP, but he's certainly part of a dying breed. The sophomore Sketch 22 member enjoys eating, sleeping, and attempting to be funny. His inspiration including Hunter S. Thompson, Koopa Troopa, and blueberry pie. Thousands have learned from his wise teachings, including Christian Bale, Shakira, and Mike Vrabel. He truly is the most not-Asian Confuscius of our time.

Danielle Soto
Danielle Soto was born and raised in Brookline, Massachusetts. In high school she acted in many plays including Betty’s Summer Vacation and The Phantom Tollbooth. She was also a member of her high school’s short form improv team, Needs Improv’ment. After graduating in 2006, she went to UMASS Amherst where she is now an undergrad, and director of UMASS’s sketch comedy group, Sketch 22. In her free time, Danielle enjoys writing, long phone conversations, hair metal, and catching reruns of Boy Meets World and The Nanny.

Hunter Wallingford managed to finagle his way into Sketch-22 through smoke, mirrors, and general bribery. He enjoys fermented tea, kittens, pictures of kittens, and green apples. He has done a fair share of theatre, but likes the sketch comedy format much better as it fits into his absurd schedule. CRC rules!

Carly Mandell
Carly Mandell is a 92 year old woman trapped in the body of a twenty year old. As a result, she has very good relations with the elderly. She has been a member of Mission:IMPROVable since spring of her freshman year and loving every minute. Carly is quite fond of her family, friends, running around outside, shuffleboard and things of the like. She also has obscenely large big toes.

Adam Graeber was birthed from the loins of God herself. He is a word traveler having been to exotic places such as the taco bell down the street from his house, and a garbage dump in Osaka, Japan. He has been doing improv since his mother’s uterus asked him, “Where have your fingers been?
