Roanoke Improv is led by Brian Sallade. Brian has had a love for comedy and acting for as long as he can remember. He began performing improv as a student (now graduate) at the College of William and Mary. Continuing his journey, he studied at the iO Theatre and The Second City in Chicago. He has been performing and teaching in Virginia since 2015 at comedy clubs, businesses, and festivals such as the Roanoke Comedy Fest, 2nd Best Fest (Richmond), Last Word Comedy Festival (Williamsburg), MAGfest (National Harbor, MD), and Floyd Fest. His favorite improviser is his five-year-old daughter who keeps him on his toes daily.
