Jon Bershad

Hi! My name is Jon Bershad.

I was on UCB Harold Night for four years (on the teams Apollo, The Governess, Dr. Snake, and By the Book) and also UCB Maude Night for a different four years (writing in the teams Beige and One Idiot). I've been seriously studying improv since 2007 and sketch since 2006. I also teach sketch at the UCB, have coached a ton of improv teams, directed a ton of sketch shows, and I was director and head writer of the monthly UCB show, The Livia Scott Sketch Program, for a year. Additionally, I've written and/or directed funny stuff for MTV, TruTV, The Onion, Seriously.TV, Above Average, Funny or Die, College Humor, and more.

I would love to coach your improv team or sketch team, direct your sketch show, or give you notes on a packet/character audition.
