Thrown together by circumstance, Boy Girl Party is a sketch troupe created by Tamlynn Bryson, Melanie Dahling, Damien Doepping & Chili Davidson. The group met in 2019 at Outlaugh Toronto: an intense, Survivor-style comedy competition held at The Social Capital Theatre. Alliances were built, eliminations were made, and when the dust settled, the four realized they made a pretty great team.

​

When the world shut down in 2020, these four filled their new-found free time with as much silliness as a Zoom account could handle. Once it became safe to do so, they began filming sketches in person and took their act to the stage, eventually performing in the 2023 and 2024 Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival. 

 

When they aren’t dancing, shouting, and spontaneously getting married on stage, you can catch the four members of Boy Girl Party working on various exciting creative projects. 

 

Tamlynn Bryson holds a BFA in Acting from the University of Windsor and has dedicated the majority of her professional career to creating and performing original work. She spends her summers touring to Canadian Fringes with her award-winning solo shows "Bedwetter" and "(in)decision". In 2023 and 2024, she appeared in the Edmonton Fringe Festival in "Escape From Edmonton", a duo action-comedy in which she portrays bearded 70's hunk Snake Plisskin.

​

Melanie Dahling is a stand-up comedian, psychotherapy student, and the Second in Command at Howl & Roar Records - a woman-forward stand up comedy label. She is a busy producer in Toronto, currently producing three live shows, and prides herself on creating a unique variety experience. 

​

Chili Davidson is a beloved stand-up and sketch comedian in Toronto. He has recently moved to Los Angeles and is making his mark on Hollywood. He’s studied at The Groundlings and UCB, appeared in the TV show "We The People" with Justice Lauren Lake, a commercial for J&Y Law, and the vertical drama "The Double Life of My Hot Escort". He’s currently working towards recording a comedy special later this year. 

​

Damien Doepping is a graduate of Queen’s BA Drama program and Humber College’s Comedy Writing and Performance program. He has been podcasting for close to 10 years, co-hosting the religions podcast 

"Belief it or Not", and "Spooked!", a scary story improvised podcast. Over the years, the latter has given him the opportunity to work with some of Toronto’s best actors and comedians.
