Biography
As a little girl, Dava Krause would entertain her mother by performing impressions of family and friends while they cooked dinner. Wanting to broaden her audience past the kitchen, Dava threw herself into high school theatre.
While earning her B.S in Theatre at Northwestern University, Dava became a talented improviser and graduated from The Second City Conservatory and The Improv Olympic Training Center in downtown Chicago. By her senior year Dava was performing regularly in numerous improvisation and sketch “teams” throughout the city.
Since moving to Los Angeles, Dava has traveled all over the country in clubs, colleges and festivals performing over an hour of original material including one liners, stories from her real life situations and a dozen original songs. Her self-deprecating and authentic style allows her to take risks and expose the truth in comedy.

She is also an accomplished comedic writer and is one of the youngest comedians to have her jokes published in “She’s So Funny” by Judy Brown.
