ABOUT

Hi! I'm Elise, a Los Angeles-based actor, sketch comedian, and songwriter.

2026 So Far:
+ I performed in the final callback round for Just For Laughs: New Faces of Comedy, getting to perform my favorite characters in solo sets (hosted by Upright Citizens Brigade in partnership with JFL Festival)! Such an incredible experience.

+ I wrapped as Lead in horror film Pulling Teeth (currently in post-production).

+ I wrapped as "Carly" in Pretzel TV's Comedy Universe (recently released).

+ Two of my original songs, "Afterlife & Realms", and "Few Words", earned placement in the upcoming film Pushing Forward (currently in post-production).

I perform and train sketch comedy and improv at UCB, The Groundlings, and many theaters around Los Angeles. Improv and sketch ignite my heart with overflowing joy, and I love how building those skillsets has made me a more confident actor, and person. It's a privilege to bring writers' worlds to life, and the confidence to freely make choices that are true to me, through a writer's character, is genuinely fulfilling to me.

One last thought: Check out music (scroll for my lyrics), and add a song or two to your playlists! It's one of my greatest joys to write lyrics for myself and others; to sing and to share it all with you. AND, if you're looking for a co-write or a conversation about song placement and sync, I'm your girl (I've got 2 in an upcoming film this summer! Release info coming soon.)! Contact below (or via IG).

Want to know a little more about me? I'd love to share! Give me a follow on IG for the best updates along the way. <3

As always from my pen (or, keyboard I guess..) to you: You're doing great! Keep existing. Keep showing up;

LYRICS

___________

Like a puzzle

With no edges

Keeps on building out

Kaleidoscope with no focus

We'll play cat and mouse

Wind me up and I'll run circles

Ignore the way out

Playing games not meant to hurt us

We figured out how

___________

In the face of your echo
Find warmth in the shadow
You left yesterday
Tighter hold on each other
Letting go feels harder
So which is the mistake

Grey in your bed sheets
Serves to remind me
It's not black and white
Can we

Leave out the perfect
Messy it's worth it
You could just be mine

All mine

___________

I know that I'm fire

And I know that my desire

Is you with me

But listen I ain't

Losing no sleep

Boy you're grown

Do your own saving

Look- I never woulda

F*^#ed with you

If I didn't see you could

Do much better

I'm saying I believe

You can do better

But you're not

Pulling me down

While you pull

Yourself together

___________

Cotton candy in the sky
Who taught you to fly
Butterscotch up high
You’ve got me baking

Lemon drops drip down our skin
Like salty taffy off my chin
Love this wonderland we’re in
(can we just pretend)

You and I on white chocolate sidewalks
Tootsie trees with green apple gum drops
Frosting breeze take a seat on pop rocks
(I love my ginger man)

You’re my peanut butter cup
Praline King come fill me up
Sugar-spun

Undone
Craving

Gotta

Get me some

Sweet Love – sweet love
That sugar rush - I’m dreaming of
Sweet Love – sweet, sweet love
When my bowl runs over
Just pour me another
Baby I’m yours - oh come over share yours

Baby you’re my diet my nutrition
Candy apple red-carmel dippin
The answer and the source of my addiction
The birthday candle wish I’m wishin

Baby you’re my diet my nutrition
Candy apple red-carmel dippin
The answer and the source of my addiction
Gimme all the sweets you’re dishin

___________

Your beauty like a siren

Didn't hear the alarms warn

Before I knew it I was captured

Had me thinking I was home

You had me counting petals

Looking for the seeds to sow

Left me out there in the summer

Cracked ground and none to grow

In you I found direction
