Hi, I'm Gunjan
I'm a Toronto-based TV, Film, and Commercial actress with extensive improv (unscripted theatre) training. I first found improv in highschool, and then refound it in my late 20s after a significant heartbreak. I perform improv regularly across comedy venues in Toronto, both independently and with a bilingual (English & Hindi) improv troupe called "Hinprov".
Since 2018, I have been training extensively with two of Toronto’s most revered schools of comedy – The Second City Training Centre (Conservatory Program Graduate May 2024) and the Bad Dog Theatre Company (Studio Series Program). I have performed improv at the Detroit Improv Festival, Guelph Comedy Festival, Mississauga Fringe Festival, and Bad Dog Theatre's Blockbuster Week in Toronto.
I am currently training with Earl Nanhu (EVN Film and Television Studios) in a method that emphasizes a spiritual approach to acting. In addition, I have previously trained with Armstrong Acting Studios to learn on-camera acting technique.
Outside of dedicated training, my acting toolkit has evolved through traveling, multiple corporate career paths, years of education in India, Egypt, China, and Canada, practicing empathy in my daily life, and generally living life to the fullest. I also hold a Master's degree in Business Administration (MBA) from the Rotman School of Management in Toronto.
