James Heaney

I teach improv comedy at the Westside Comedy Theater in Santa Monica CA. While living in Venice California I have been coaching actors and teaching improv for over 10 years. For several years I was a cast member of the comedy podcast "Alchemy This" with Kevin Pollak. After Alchemy This Ended in 2022, I began producing my own comedy podcast, "Original Understudies" These experiences required me to have a professional sound setup as well as a" know how" of creating clean clear sounding recordings.

I have booked numerous national commercials, many web series, a couple of award winning short films, and one Feature Film soon to be released. I play a lead role in the comedy murder mystery, "Best Man Dead Man".
