VANESSA RAGLAND
email: vanessa[at]robinsonhope.com Vanessa Ragland is a person (female) who lives in Los Angeles. She auditions for a lot of stuff and gets to do some of it. She's an actor and if you want to get in her acting pants, contact the fine folks at Odenkirk Provissiero. She's written features, pilots, and is constantly developing new material and collaborating with wonderful artists. To tickle her writing parts, you can contact the hunky men of Verve. She's performed stand-up, sketch shows and improv all over the city of angels, and as co-host of the Pop My Culture Podcast (named by Rolling Stone as the 2nd best comedy podcast!) Vanessa gets to sit down with some of the comics and actors she most admires and ask them whatever she wants. Booyah. As an improvisor she's studied comedy at Groundlings, Westside Comedy, and UCB. She's taken her stand-up and sketch to SF Sketchfest, her podcast to Sketchfest and Rooftop Comedy, and generally enjoys "making magic." (Not the dark arts.) Contrary to popular belief, she did NOT have a fling with Zac Efron. Those pictures were fabricated.
