HOT & SWEATY

Hot & Sweaty is LIT's first team, and it is one of the longest-running teams in DC.  It consists of LIT's instructors & directors and represents LIT as its offical touring company at comedy festivals around the country.  Formed during a hot summer in 2010 with six members, Hot & Sweaty was the inspiration that eventually led to the formation of LIT Comedy.  Hot & Sweaty has cultivated more comedic talent & instructors, produced more shows and attended more festivals than any other team in DC bar none.

Hot & Sweaty performs all types of comedy.  Hot & Sweaty performs regularly in the Washington DC area.

MEET The Team

  1. Nancy Safavi
  2. David Stauffer
  3. Wesley Fox

    Wes is a triple threat from the asshole of America and has lived in DC for 4 years.

  4. Langdon Page

    Langdon Page has been afraid of aliens since he was young. Space is just so big, y'know? Like, we don't know what's out there. Why do humans always act so solipsistic? An advanced enough alien species could wipe out our entire culture—our planet—in an instant. Do you ever think about this stuff, man? Langdon started doing comedy to cope with his fear.

  5. Bruno Falcon

    Bruno Falcon is a real life super-hero. Whether it’s crafting a world from nothing more than a DM’s guide and a bad joke, or salvaging the ruins of some half conceived video project, Bruno is there to save the day. Classically trained in philosophy, he realized that paying the bills took serious work, so he went into media production. Whether it’s finding laughs on stage or crafting stories on screen, Bruno is passionate about doing things all out, so long as he’s had his coffee first.

  6. Katie Kooser

    Katie Kooser is a writer and improviser from Erie, Pennsylvania. She is a graduate of The Second City Training Center's writing and improv programs and spent two years making Chicagoans laugh as a member of the all-female sketch ensemble, Bevvy. She peaked in high school, writing and directing a short musical film called “Mommies Are People.” Mixed reviews from family members and friends included phrases like "truly lackluster" and "maybe next time." Currently, Katie lives in Adams Morgan and performs at Laugh Index Theater with Hot & Sweaty.

  7. Maria Mainelli

    Maria Mainelli is originally from Roca, Nebraska but left the corn for city life. She graduated from CAP21/Molloy College with her BFA in Theatre Arts in 2018 and she also studied improv and sketch at UCB during her time in college. She performs with Hot & Sweaty!
