BRETT WEAN is a writer and actor who has performed improv at various New York theaters and is happy to call The PIT his home. He studied film and acting at Vassar College, which was formerly an all-female school but still manages a pretty sweet ratio — Hello! Brett has been a member of several PIT house teams, most recently of which was the long-running group The Baldwins. He has studied commercial acting with casting directors Brooke Thomas and Mary Egan of House Productions, and has since done commercial work for VH-1, and Weight Watchers. He recently acted in his first feature film, made by the people fromperiodsfilms.com. He is one of the founding creators, writers, and actors at SiCKPUPPY.tv. He also created and co-hosted (with PIT house team member Ben Masten) the culinary-themed variety show Foodstuff with Brett & Ben.

 

Until recently, Brett worked in the glamorous world of book publishing, and has written pieces for Time Out New York, as well as a syndicated career-related humor column called The Worker Bee (I know, I know.) He has performed in the Del Close Marathon, greatly enjoys teaching and coaching improv (he taught the PIT’s Sunday Longform Drop-In class for quite some time, and is on the Official PIT Approved Coaches List), as well as solo coaching and directing, helping people work on their one-person shows. (His background in publishing helps with that, in terms of script editing.) He is fascinated, just fascinated, by the comic strip Cathy, which annoys his wife greatly.
