BIO
Born in the suburbs of Chicago, Meg Anderson earned a B.S. in film and television production at Boston University before moving to New York City and promising her parents she would use her degree. She quickly realized that performing was the life for her and began studying improv at The Peoples Improv Theater and Upright Citizens Brigade while also learning that being an adult is, like, super hard.
Within three years of her first improv show, she became the fourth woman to ever teach improv at The PIT, a sought-after improv coach and began performing on the PIT main stage with the theater's headlining house team, The Baldwins, of which she was a founding member. Since then, Meg has performed nearly 1,000 improv shows (of varying funniness) and has appeared in numerous commercials, web series, indie films and television shows.
She creates comedic content daily posted to her Instagram and is starring in a (homemade) sitcom with her husband Happy Anderson about their life during Quarantine.
