The gang

It’s a whole gang, actually

The brain‑child of Grace Fennell — an award‑winning actor, improvisor and writer based in DC. The comedy is a mix of absurdism, physical comedy and dark humor, and she brings a full cast with her.

She started her first improv group at the University of South Carolina in 2011, spent four years in Chicago, and founded the all‑female team Cease and Desist before landing in DC.

The Grace and the Gang cast crowded together mid-cheer, arms raised, with the bubble logo above them.
