Topping Haggerty

Topping Haggertyhas performed and directed improvisation for many years, mostly in New York City and San Francisco, though recently(ish) shes been working her improv magic in Austin, TX (Yeehaw!).

She is a founding member of DA Foundry, a theatre group that produces improv works, as well as scripted , musical, and filmed projects and/or whatever brilliantly entertaining theatrical thing it can conceive. She also does improv theater around Austin with Bolik Not ZIB, the Puppet Improv Project, Gnap! Theater Projects, and  Comedy Sportz. 

Topping's one-person improvised show, Topping Haggerty Experience (THE), has been performed in many cities including New York, Boston, Chicago, Buenos Aires, Austin, Atlanta, Miami and Toronto.

Topping is the founder of The Kihckercast Project and has directed such improv projects as Techno Forest of Doom, What Men Talk About (While Women Make Us Wait), Seeking: Sexy, Sane and Single (Personal Ad Adventures), and has, over the years coached some amazingly fun improv troupes. She has also been a member of a myriad of improv troupes that include, but are not limited to Drinkies GaLore, RedRover, The Bastards, Cute Kids with Guns, Scap Metal, Channel Surfing, Liquid Paper, Amnesia Wars, Bay Area Theatresports, etc.

Topping has also performed in a lot of oddly forgettable scripted plays and student film projects. 

She received her Theater BA at San Francisco State University.
