PRIMETIME PLAYERS

Brittany Taylor

Brittany has been performing at DCC since 2022, where she was DELIGHTED to find such an amazing comedic community. Her biggest claim to fame is her reality TV role on Encore on Disney+. Her favorite menu items are Diet Coke & Rum and the Sweet Chili Wings. After the show, buy her anything off the menu, and she will shamelessly and enthusiastically accept… Thanks in advance.

Camille Long

Camille attended her first improv show in 2014, and her life was radically and beautifully altered forever. She holds a BFA in performance from UTA and would like her theater professors to know they were wrong about everything. Since graduation from Dallas Comedy House in 2015, she has managed to “Lucy Ricardo” her way into several theaters and troupes across the metroplex and Chicago, but calls Dallas Comedy Club her home. She plays the same basic three characters consistently in some facet. They include, the Statue of Liberty, Broken Barbie, and Yenta from “Fiddler on the Roof”. You can see her perform in Primetime and with the Harold team All Time Faves, and well, anything that will have her.

Chris Hansen

Chris has been an avid member of the Dallas comedy community since 2017. He has been on multiple house teams and takes great pleasure in coaching and teaching others the craft of comedy. When not performing, you might find Chris singing karaoke at a local dive bar, playing a fun board game that you’ve never heard of, or drinking a Diet Coke at the bar.

Dane Robertson

After a mildly successful high school speech and debate career and bombing out of the Tampa open mic scene, Dane’s comedy redemption arc began with improv in 2016. Since then, he’s graced the stage with construction-themed slam poetry, Jim Carrey impressions, and a 17th place finish in a national pun contest. A regular host of TGIF & Primetime, Dane uses his warm and calming presence to charm people into sharing their deepest secrets in a roomful of strangers. Otherwise, you can find him producing the improvised slideshow show People Presenting Things or drinking water on the patio couch.
Dan States Headshot

Dan States

Dan States is excited about joining the cast of Primetime! He’s fairly new to the Dallas comedy scene, but he has jumped in with both feet – and all the other body parts, as well. He loves performing with various teams at Dallas Comedy Club. Before that, he has been seen in various plays throughout the Metroplex on stages at the Bath House Cultural Center, the Pocket Sandwich Theater, the Kalita Humphreys Theatre, Contemporary Theater of Dallas and Pegasus Theatre to name a few. He has been a member of the Deep Ellum community since 2003 with his lovely wife, Jessie and goofy dog, Carlton. When not playing or taking in a show at DCC, he can be spotted at various music venues throughout the neighborhood watching a band or simply grabbing a drink and maybe participating in some pub trivia. If you want to know anything else, you’re just gonna have to ask him!

Donald Bennett

Donald, A.K.A. Las Colinas’ original bad boy, has been doing improv since 2017 because he was tired of drinking alone and trying to make his asleep roommates laugh. He’s been involved in a handful of house teams, both long and short, and has even begun coaching and teaching because he’s that talented.
His proudest moment in comedy is when he told a joke in a church show that made an old man in the back stand up, give him a silent thumbs down, and promptly leave. If he’s not doing comedy, he’s either out playing disc golf or reading comic books. He loves talking about both, so feel free to approach him about either one.

Emily Baudot

Emily Baudot’s a comedian with a love for character study. Her performing career began in Deep Ellum’s Dallas Comedy House in 2015. There, she studied long form improv and sketch, and performed with several house improv teams. Ever since, she’s appeared in venues across the DFW metroplex, including Dallas Comedy House, Rover Dramawerks, Four-Day Theater, Stomping Ground, and now at the Dallas Comedy Club. When she isn’t being goofy in weekend short form shows, she’s writing original monologues or getting weird with her organic long form troupe, Don’t Broken, Not Fixin’. She also loves making allies smile in Stefan Newman’s Queer Factor variety show. Most recently, she performed the pieces “C*NT” and “The Little Coochie Snorcher that Could” in DCC’s special fundraising production of the Vagina Monologues.

His writing can be found in places like The Verge, Vice, The Ringer, ESPN, Uproxx and more.

Katherine started performing improv comedy over 10 years ago at Vanderbilt University with a team called Tongue ‘N’ Cheek.

Maggie Cowling

Maggie has been performing improv since 2018. She has been on two long form house teams and is now a member of the TGIF and Primetime Short Form Teams. Maggie is a cry-laugher, so she is often wiping tears off her face during shows (this is a good thing). She loves making people laugh and interacting with the audience (on and off stage). When she’s not on stage at DCC, you can find Maggie riding her bike around town or walking her dog and/or horse and mini horse.

Steve Evans

He has been graded “Satisfactory” ever since. Growing up, Steve’s best friend was television, which taught him British comedy and Hall of Justice characters, but no music references because MTV was banned in Haltom City, Texas. A graduate of Four Day Weekend and Dallas Comedy House programs, Steve has performed throughout Texas and NYC, and you can catch him weekly at DCC on Primetime and with the Harold team All Time Faves.
