Caroline Hitt
ActorCaroline Hitt is a professional improviser, comedian, and actress based in the Twin Cities—having lit up stages across the country with her quirky characters, sassy wit, and extreme dance moves. During the day, she does video production, but that’s boring. Caroline is a main stage troupe member at the Stevie Ray’s Comedy Cabaret performing out at the “Chanhassen Dinner Theatres. She appears regularly in the murder mystery show “Tommy Gun Trouble” at the Wabasha Street Caves in St. Paul. This is her very first Minnesota Fringe Festival appearance, and she’s so glad to be doing it some of the most talented people she knows from Smartmouth Comedy Co. Love to Matt and Grizzly!
Drue Malcolm
Actor, WriterDrue’s been a company member of Smartmouth Comedy since 2019 and has done improv, sketch writing and performing, and just a skitchy-skitch of stand-up (which she REALLY needs to get back into because it makes her immeasurably happy, someone PLEASE GET ON HER NON-EXISTENT ASS ABOUT THAT). She owns her own business, doing masculine haircuts (Drue’s Grooming at Sola Salons, Lyndale), is married to the finest piece of (EXISTENT) ass in the state, has the foofiest dog there ever was, and is notorious for her love of poop jokes. Which means “Swiftie Thunderdump” is the CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT of her comedy career.
Garrison Shea
ComposerHeather Higinbotham
ActorHeather Higinbotham (she/her) is new to the Twin Cities, but she's been acting for most of her life, having performed in countless plays and musicals in and around her hometown of Orem, Utah since the age of seven. Recent roles include Sergia Saranoff in Arms and the Man (Queered Classics, 2024), Milky-White in Into the Woods (Sandy Arts Guild, 2023), and Herr Schultz in Cabaret (Daydreamer Theatre, 2023). Heather is proud to represent lanky trans women everywhere who have to bend down when they walk through doorways, and she hopes to see more of her kind represented onstage in the coming years.

Her favorite projects include co-writing and directing Smartmouth's first full length play and sell out hit, Who Killed Ariel?: A Princess Murder Mystery and writing/directing Christmas with the Campbells, a piece inspired by her family. Kary's main focus and artistic drive is the art of making people laugh and the intense, never-ending desire to create more opportunities for women in comedy.
Kendra Yarke

ActorMegan Rene Guidry (she/they) is excited to be back performing in the MN Fringe Festival. Megan is a producer for Smartmouth Comedy Co and has been working with them since 2016. When not performing, Megan loves long walks on the beach at sunrise -- or they would, if they enjoyed beaches or the sun. Instead they spend their time in the theater where it is dark and not well ventilated. They didn't really have anything interesting to say so this is their bio. If you've taken the time to read this -- thank you, and have fun watching In Our Sketch Era!

Nick Kary
Actor, WriterMaking his long awaited return to the stage (mostly by his mother), Nick Kary has long been looking for the exact right moment to come out of his 15 year hiatus (definitely not because he hasn't been asked to be in anything since high school) and there was no better show than In Our Sketch Era from Smartmouth Comedy ran by the incredibly funny, smart, and talented Kelliann Kary (all of those things would be true even if it wasn't his wife (also when we will stop talking about nepobabies and more about nepohusbands?)). If you feel that the wait was worth it, you can go check out his podcast Friendly Competition wherever you find podcasts.
