Lucas Ratzlaff
Lucas took his first improv class at the HIT in 2021 after failing to find any standup classes in the area, and quickly fell in love with improv.
With a background of theater from his K-12 days, Lucas rediscovered the joy of taking the stage at the HIT, finding particular delight in bold and silly theatrics and characters.
Today, you can still find him learning and performing with Big Business LLC, musical team Barbra, and writing and performing sketches with And Another Thing - A Sketch Show.
Outside of the HIT, Lucas enjoys baking, playing tabletop games, and carefully soaking in the sunshine outdoors.
