Big Dreamin’ Mom

  • Marques Kemp

    Marques Kemp is a comedic performer from Vallejo, CA. He spent his early years recording local rappers that turned into a career as a sound engineer. Seeking respite from dark rooms and bright computer screens; he tried standup at open mics while living in Hong Kong. A decade later, he’s played multiple countries in any venue where the standards are as low as the ceilings. Trained at WE, UCB & iO, he currently performs with the hit WE team Big Dreamin' Mom in LA. As of this writing, Marques was last seen at an Ojai farmers' market sniffing homemade candles.

  • Lauren Payton

    Lauren Payton is an actress/writer/improvisor trying her best. She has written multiple pilot scripts, as well as a feature script that someone remarked “had the same vibe as Shrek 2.” Having earned her BA in Cinema and Media Studies from the University of Pennsylvania, Lauren knows that Shrek 2 is the best film in the Shrek hexology (AKA the Shrexology). Although she started her improv journey in the City of Brotherly Love, her favorite position in the classic nuclear family is the Big Dreamin’ Mom! If you or someone you know is looking for a goofy blonde to cast and/or potentially sugar baby, you can find her on Instagram @_poppylaur!

  • Theresa Potts

    Theresa Potts is an improviser and artist from Chicago, IL. She’s done the grand tour of improv theaters, making pit stops at iO, Second City, and UCB. These days you’ll find her at WE with Big Dreamin’ Mom and German Supermarket. When she’s not doing (or watching) improv, you can spot her power walking around Los Angeles listening to the lyrical stylings of Fountains of Wayne.

  • Clock Lauderdale

    Clock Lauderdale is from Nebraska, which hardly has any coasts, except for a few rivers and a couple of lakes. He started improvising in Minneapolis, which by the way Minnesota, The Land of Ten Thousand Lakes, has more coasts than any other state. Just kidding, it’s Alaska. He’s improvised in New York City, the East Coast, and now improvises in Los Angeles, the West Coast, but let’s not get into which coast is the best coast. We all can certainly agree that it’s not Florida.

  • Andrew Langsam

    Andrew Langsam is an actor, writer, improvisor and LA native. He’s done a bunch of commercials and stuff and studied at UCB, The Second City and We Improv. In his spare time, he enjoys deejaying and playing golf

    (not at the same time). He likes hanging out with his wife and kid too! You can catch him making stuff up

    with his team Big Dreamin’ Mom at The Clubhouse and some other places.

  • Nathan Ehrmann

    Hi. I’m Nathan Ehrmann. I’m an actor, comedian, and wife guy, and make no mistake about it, I’m writing this copy for myself. I started doing the old make-em-up routines in Austin, Texas, and too many years later, I’m still at it here in the City of Angels. When I’m not with my fellow parents in Big Dreamin’ Mom, you can find me occasionally writing guest posts for @batsdaily on Twitter.

  • Amanda Lifford

    Improviser, Writer, and New England Patriots enthusiast Amanda Lifford hails from Boston, Massachusetts. She's also lived in Italy, Australia, and Panama, which she will work into conversation almost immediately (or include as the second line of her bio.) Amanda moved to Los Angeles after 4 years in Chicago studying Legal Sociology at Northwestern University and training/performing improv at Second City, iO, and ComedySportz.

    Amanda is currently a Producer and On-Air Contributor for The Viall Files, a podcast on dating, sex, relationships, and pop culture. She's also a professional matchmaker, a job as bonkers as it sounds that she loves very much. When she's not working or learning German with her 96-year-old grandfather, you can find her performing long-form improv around LA or "explaining the facts of deflate-gate" to Uber drivers.
