Hi everyone!
My name is Melia, and my favorite thing in the world is comedy. I have always loved to make people laugh. All I want to do in this world is make other people's lives better by bringing laughter. It's what I can offer.
Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Saturday Night Live, improv, and just comedy in general. It's truly my dream to be a comedian, and get to make people laugh for a living.
BUT, in order to get to where I want to go I need to take improv classes. I've started classes with two different improv schools in Los Angeles. One is called The Upright Citizen's Brigade (UCB) and it was started by Amy Poehler in New York in the late 90s. The other school is called The Groundlings, and it's started the careers of so many hysterical people such as Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, and Peewee Herman!
I went to live in LA this past summer and I fell in love with the comedy scene there. I have made it to level 3 with UCB, and even passed the Basic level at The Groundlings on my first try!
I am back at school now, getting a degree, gathering experience, and I cannot wait to head back to LA to keep pursuing my dreams. But in order to give it my all, it's going to take some money. I have a job, and I'm saving every penny that I have, but it would mean so much to me if you guys could chip in a little. I'll love you forever, and I'll thank you in my Emmy acceptance speech!
