ABOUT
One night, Tim and Dana were drinking in a bar and got to talking about how much they missed making sketch comedy. In the morning, miraculously, they remembered. Thus, Deamwolf was born. Having realized that a two person sketch group is dumb (take that, Fry and Laurie) they recruited others. This bio is getting boring. Stop reading this. Just watch the comedy. Really, stop reading. There isn't even content here anymore. I'm just going to ignore you now and hope that you go away. Are you still here? Damn it. Fine. I'll come up with a cheesy slogan for you to enjoy. Here it is: You can't stop Dreamwolf, no matter how much you politely ask them.
Daniel Armas
Daniel Armas' first bio was denied cause it was too funny. And gramatic mistakes. Always a performer, Daniel used to be an actor. He has a BA in theatre from an nationally accredited van. Also, he was in shows. Mostly stuff you've not seen. You probably did see Lost, but I assure you, he is NOT in it. Oh, and his day job is teaching children. Which is probably it's own sort of funny and strange anecdote. Good night and may God bless America
Dana DeRuyck
Dana is largely controlled by a sentient tapeworm named Morga, who lives in her upper intestine. Morga's favorite food is ice cream and he loathes artificial banana flavoring. Morga has studied improv at the Groundlings and UCB, as well as having extensive background in classical and contemporary theatre. Morga is a member of Sacred Fools Theater Company and a resident artist with The Porters of Hellsgate. Morga also appeared in the award-winning parody webseries Harry Potter & the Ten Years Later. Morga does not think much of Dana DeRuyck at all, and wishes she would eat more goddamn ice cream.
Michael Hoag
Michael Mitchell Hoag grew up in a village by a lake, shoveling snow and shooing bears off the porch. He was the loudest, strangest little boy in the world. After studying at the Hampstead Theatre in London and graduating from The University of Oregon Theater Program, where he learned everything there is to know about acting and precipitation, he began putting his sweet sweet moves on Los Angeles. Recently, he’s been working with The Porters of Hellsgate Theatre Company, and lurking/studying around The UCB. He lives alone in Sherman Oaks, and is about to have another cup of coffee.
Timothy Portnoy
Contrary to what you may have heard, there is no such person as Timothy Portnoy. He was not born in Newton, Massachusetts, nor did he earn a BA in Theatre from Penn State University. That would be absurd. He did not move to LA and become a resident artist with the Porters of Hellsgate Theatre Company. He definitely did not recently complete a six month run with Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum. Who is telling you these things? He is also, certainly, unequivocally not UCB trained in improv. Somebody's filling your head with terrible, terrible nonsense. These are all lies. There is no Timothy Portnoy. Timothy Portnoy is like Santa Claus, in that he is fictional and loves cookies. He's also like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, in that is face glows, and like Krampus, the Austrian Christmas monster, in ways that I feel it's better that I don't get into.
Angela Sauer
Angela enjoys hot chocolate, long walks on the beach, and talking in the third person. She is the proud owner of an autographed photo of Tony Danza, a well-loved tiara, and an MFA in Acting from the Florida State University/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training. She has moved away from Michigan, Indiana, Rome, Chicago, Florida, London, Connecticut, and NYC in order to join Dreamwolf. Since arriving in LA in 2013, she has worked with 7 theatre companies, sung at 9 karaoke venues, trained at 3 improv schools, lived in 6 places, joined 5 dating apps, and been a stand-in for 1 Lizzy Caplan. She has won awards for singing, dancing, acting, playwriting, and monologue performance, and expects to be declared America's Next Top Model any day now. She is team captain of "Pitches Be Crazy" in the LA Karaoke League, where she does enough interpretive dance to be regularly confused for a mascot.
Daniel Szolovits
Daniel Szolovits made its debut in 1887 to great acclaim at the Geelong World’s Fair, where it amazed audiences by its lifelike movement and ability to mimic human language. “Dan” or “Solo,” as it was nicknamed by presenters at the fair, was lost for several decades after the sinking of the USS Hand Over Head in a typhoon off the coast of Kaho’olawe in 1903. The mechanical marvel was thought to be entirely lost, until a man by the same name and roughly the same appearance was discovered in Los Angeles in 2012 by a team of “Solo Hunters” – the self-applied term for Daniel Szolovits enthusiasts. The man found in California graduated from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in 2008 with a degree in Screenwriting. He was a writer/producer for GamerGirl: The Webseries, and also wrote the serial fantasy-novel-like blog Dispatches from Otherworld. Despite his fleshy exterior and well-documented history as a human being, most experts agree that this “Daniel Szolovits” is in fact the very same mechanical automaton featured in that marvelous World’s Fair in the late 19th Century.
