Leah Gransbery

Born in Butte (pronounced 'byoot', not 'butt'), Montana, a town renowned for its tough mining roots, Leah was raised amidst the rugged landscape of a place with more bars than people. It's a town with a reputation for toughness – where even the water tells its own tale as one of the largest bodies of polluted water and an EPA Superfund site. Butte isn't just a mining town; it's the birthplace of daredevils, including the legendary Evel Knievel. Leah emerged from this spirited environment, blending the daredevil spirit of her hometown with a comedic prowess she learned from her father, a German realist who used his lightning-quick wit to win over the town's Irishmen, earning their respect and an honorary Irishman title – talk about 'blarney' diplomacy!

After leaving Montana, Leah explored nearly 30 countries, discovering that a good sense of humor knows no boundaries – it's the universal travel guide that brings people together in laughter. Settling in San Antonio in 2016, Leah is a nonprofit director, helping the homeless and low-income with their eye care needs. Beyond the improv stage, Leah's competes in several sand volleyball leagues while chasing her personal trainer certificate. Oh, and she's a model too – not the runway kind, but definitely a role model to two incredible kids. They serve as her personal comedy writers, constantly spinning hilarious tales, usually at her own expense.

Finding House Party Improv classes and completing three levels of long-form lit a match for Leah's desire to perform and perfect the skill. Leah's a comedy alchemist, transforming life's experiences into relatable comedy. As a recovering people pleaser, she's learning to balance making others laugh while prioritizing her own joy. Her scene work is not about cheap punchlines but a laughter-filled journey, sprinkled with surprises, where being a model means flexing those comedic muscles instead of striking a pose!
