TJ Del Reno has been trained by Upright Citizens Brigade and Reckless Theatre since 2005. He was on Kinsey with Natasha Rothwell as well as City Mouse at UCB Theatre in New York. His teachers included Zach Woods, Bobby Moynihan, Anthony Atamanuik, Shannon O’Neill, Chris Gethard, Jeff Hiller, and many more.

At the P.I.T. he was on Cannonball and the weekend veteran show Chica GoGo! with Jodie Lennon, Amey Goerlich, and Mick Napier, when he was in town. The show is based on a black-out improv form called ‘Screw Puppies’ created at The Annoyance in Chicago.

His final home was Reckless Theatre, created and run by Magnet Theatre, UCB, and The Groundlings’ Sunday Company member Christian Capozzoli. He was on Too Big of a Dog, which started as a Big Fiasco house team and ended up as a weekend team followed by All Gonna Die.

Every year, he travels to Europe to train with Christian Capozzoli at the Whalefish Theatre Improv Retreat. Here, he has trained with Groundling members Emily Pendergast and Michael Churven. This year, TJ is traveling to Barcelona to train with Susan Messing from The Annoyance Chicago.
