Originally hailing from New York, Raquel Palmas is an improviser, actress, and musical comedian. She began doing improv as most do in her front yard, with her grandma yelling short-form game instructions. After 12 years of performing in New York's most iconic basements, she joined international comedy theater Boom Chicago in Amsterdam as a mainstage cast member for two years. Some of her favorite improv credits include: The Kennedy Center (before it was evil), Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival, and Dumb and Fun Festival (BCC)
She is as musically talented with her quick lyrics and songs as she is witty with her jokes. Whether she is wowing crowds with comedic freestyling or hosting corporate gatherings, her joy is infectious. She has studied at The PIT as well as UCB and can proudly say she has done a split in almost every improv theater and basement in New York.
Raquel focuses her comedic energies on bringing her diverse voice to the stage and the screen. She makes art that consists of laughter and heartfelt whimsy. She is beyond thrilled to be able to bring her aggressively joyous style of play and musical antics to BIG.
