Meredith Badler

Meredith is elated to join the Bovine Metropolis family and kick it in Dee Morganthaler's new house team, The Ball Pit Popcorn. She's been performing for years but hit her stride with the Smith Improv Komedy Organization of Smith while in college... at Smith. As someone who lacks a hometown, she finds herself falling in love daily with Denver. She also speaks french, can spell your name in pancakes, multi-tasks like a fiend, and makes the best homemade granola.

Megan DuBois

Megan DuBois is a member of Ball Pit Popcorn and graduated from the Bovine School of Improv with Class 48 (Untrained Surgeons). She has a great interest in storytelling and once captivated an audience while sharing her adventure of "training" for and completing the 2005 Boulder Backroads Marathon, and if you haven't heard her stripper story then you're missing out. When she’s not on stage Megan can be found dancing, egg-shaking and fist-pumping around town. She is known as KA-POW in several social circles (say that five times fast!) and she appreciates a solid high five.

Micah Smidt

Micah would like to thank the fates for leading him to the door of The Bovine during the 2010 Parade of Lights because it has given him such a wonderful excuse to enjoy the city on a regular basis. Micah was a member of the class of 54 (Improvacative) where he made good friends, improved tremendously on his skills as an improviser and performer, returned from his shell a bit, and spent way too much money at The Rock Bottom. Micah is available for regular in-person viewings at "But, Wait! There's More" where he improvises with, "Ball Pit Popcorn" a Bovine house team.
