Gilad L. Rosner began performing when he was 8 years old, mimicking the
most vulgar comedy records he could find to the delight of his warped
mother. In high school, Gilad found the first vehicle for his extroversion
in radio broadcasting, where he DJ'ed for four years to a culturally
thirsty South Florida audience. Upon reaching college, Gilad joined
Off-Off Campus, an improvisational comedy troupe at the University of
Chicago whose beginnings were rooted in the Compass Players and Second
City. He performed with them for 5 years, and became both a Trainer and
Director for the troupe. Finding little employment in the field of the
Film Theory, Gilad went to NYU for graduate school, attending the
world-renown Interactive Telecommunications Program. While there, Gilad
taught Improv Theater at his local YMCA, performed and produced Improv and
sketch comedy, and helped to form Hybrid Vigor, an Improv Theater group
that still performs at the Collective:Unconscious. While trying (and
failing) to become a Dot-Com Millionaire in Seattle, Gilad taught Improv to
first-year Drama students at North Seattle Community College. He has now
returned to his beloved New York City, become a member of the Collective,
and is busy pursuing an intensive, personal study of broadband
technologies, HIPAA, and lounge music.
