Chelsea Adland (née Gilman) is an improv performer.

History

Chelsea Adland started improvising when she auditioned successfully for We Could Be Heroes in 2000.

A post from her about the first improv show she ever saw:

I saw some improv shows as a kid and performed Whose Line Is It, Anyway? games for a show in high school...

But the first improv show I saw in Austin was in the Texas Union Building my freshman year at UT, so 1999-2000 sometime. It was Well Hung Jury, and I didn't know any of them, except that I recognized Ben Sterling from the theatre department at UT.

I also saw Fatbuckle's first show that year, and remember Lee Eddy trying to get someone to guess Yoko Ono by buying eggs, cracking them, and then saying "No yoke, oh no!"

It looked like a lot of fun, so that spring when I saw an ad in The Chronicle, I auditioned for We Could Be Heroes.
