From IRC Improv Wiki

Jodi Skeris is a performer, writer, and producer.

Jodi started performing improv before she knew of the word improv when she was a head instructor for cheerleading camps. On the last day of camp, when awards were handed out, the instructors would improvise a scene and incorporate the winning team's name at the end of each scene. Jodi was a natural at this and knew she needed to do more improv when a coach approached her, red-faced from laughing so hard, that Jodi's scenes were one of the funniest things she had ever seen.

Jodi began her improv training in Wisconsin with Comedy-Sportz in 2003. She continued her improv training for 6 years when she moved to NYC in 2004 and studied at the Upright Citizens Brigade, Magnet Theater, and The Peoples Improv Theatre. She performed with several independent teams such as Twenty Seven and the Fightin' Lobcats before joining house teams at the Magnet Theater.

While improvising, she also wrote and performed two one-woman shows at UCB. "Cheer Up Double-Cupie" directed by Eliza Skinner and "Adorable Balls" directed by Neil Casey. During her last year in NY, she focused on musical improv and joined up with Sweet Tooth.

In 2009, she moved to San Francisco and soon started working with HoboFish and Un-Scripted Theater. She performed an 8-week run with Un-Scripted Theater in their musical improv show "Let it Snow."
