Julie Basque

She/ Her

Julie Basque is a performer and producer based in Portland with over a decade of improv experience. She started taking classes at Uprights Citizen Brigade Theatre NY after being told she has "a very expressive face". Improv has proven to be a good outlet for that and she found a home in 2018 at Kickstand Comedy. She co-directed and co-produced Loose Threads, an improv show that merges handmade garments and improv where clothes build character. You can find her performing around town with her indie improv team Breaking News.
Julie is excited to help students get in touch with their emotions and facial expressions. Outside of improv, you can find her trying to sew all her own clothes or exploring with her yappy lil dog Disco.
