Jacob Compton
Jake Compton is the owner/founder of the Harrisburg Improv Theatre (HIT).
Jake started improvising in 2004, taking classes at both the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and the Magnet Theatre in New York City. In 2014, he quit all the bands he was in and focused on improv, starting the HIT.
In 2017 and 2018, Jake toured the country with his duo show Missed Connections, performing and teaching all across the U.S. During the pandemic Missed Connections Remote, a podcast version of the show was launched.
Jake doesn’t regret quitting all the bands, but he did miss playing, so he combined his love of improv and playing in bands in an improvised band practice show, Rockstar Improv.
Jake has studied sketch writing with Armando Diaz, Will Hines, and Brad Eisenstein amongst others.
