Bryan "Lubu" Roberts
Bryan "Lubu" Roberts is an improv performer and director.
History
Bryan (also referred to as "Lubu") was a company member of Gnap! Theater Projects. He performs regularly at Coldtowne Theater and occasionally at Austin's other improv theaters.
Bryan originally began working as a contributor to Gnap!'s No Shame Theater, regularly providing comedy sketches. Shortly afterward, he joined Gigglepants as a member of its inaugural cast and began performing shortform improv. In 2006, he began classes at Coldtowne Theater, eventually emerging as a member of its first graduating class of improvisers (along with Cody Dearing, Michael Williams, and Joel Keith). He was also a member of Look Cookie, Coldtowne's first student troupe, and is the only member of the Coldtowne Mainstage cast to appear in all five Mainstage revues. In 2009 and 2010, he directed Guilds of Steel, a show he created for Gnap!, to critical acclaim.
On December 1, 2007, a special "Maestro of Maestros" edition of the Hideout Theatre's popular Maestro show was performed, directed by Shana Merlin and Andy Crouch, and containing a cast of only previous Maestro winners. Bryan eventually won the title, defeating Dav Wallace in the final round. He now waits for a worthy cast of challengers.
Bryan currently maintains the comedy website ghettosketchwarlock.com and performs as Ghetto Sketch Warlock. He additionally performs with The Tastemakers, Stool Pigeon, and BOSS.
