Don Fanelli

Don graduated from Lehigh University with a BS in Industrial Engineering. After a couple of years of hating life in the real world he decided to throw that expensive degree right in the garbage and pursue a career in acting and comedy.

He has studied improv under many solid folks at the UCB, such as Chris Gethard, Will Hines, Anthony King, Michael Delaney, Neil Casey, Zach Woods, Erik Tanouye, Dyna Moe, Charlie Todd, Charlie Sanders, Becky Drysdale, and Mr. Jordan Klepper. He is also a gradutate of the William Esper Studio, having studied with Bill Esper in the two year acting intensive.

UCB Theatre credits include The Chris Gethard Show, ( ), The Movie, Cops & Robbers, The Brooks Brothers Clambake, A Harry Potter Musical, and former Harold Teams: The Opera, dybbuk, Standard Oil, and Still Mike. Don can be seen performing often with his indie teams: Fuck That Shit! (A Comedy Team), Dreadnought, and Sabonis.

Don is excited to play with Sandino on Harold Night and Gramps on Maude Night.

Diddy personally gave him the nickname, Luther, with no explanation. So he will answer to that now.
