LISA ROBINSON
Actor | Improviser | Voice Over Artist | Director
Lisa has a flair for comedy and improvisation, and a love for screen acting. With extensive training and experience in theatre and improvisation, she has also appeared in TV series, feature films, web-series, TV commercials, short films and pilots.
​
"Lisa is quick-witted, an improv genius, passionate about her work and in my opinion, Australia’s next Melissa McCarthy. Judd Apatow needs to cast this powerhouse comedienne in one of his films real quick before someone else snatches her up. Someone else like SNL? Or Second City maybe?"
- Nisrine Amine (Actor and Writer: Here Out West, 2022)

IMPROVISER
Comedy is Lisa's wheelhouse. She comes highly trained and holds extensive experience in improvisation and sketch comedy. Quick-witted and quick on her feet, she delivers comic timing with ease.
​
"Lisa has been a guest instructor at our acting school on numerous occasions in the field of improvisation. She knows her stuff. She is patient and humble. And she’s not afraid to express emotion or appear vulnerable. Acting, particularly comedic acting, comes so effortlessly to Lisa, so much so that I don’t even know if she knows how good she is. This is the type of actor we need more of; free from ego. All heart."
