Hello there! My name is ILIANA INOCENCIO (ih-lee-ah-nuh not ih-lah-nuh) and I am a versatile artist with decades (!) of experience on stage, on screen, and behind the scenes.
As a creator, I currently write and perform with musical sketch comedy group and best friends, AzN PoP! We were named one of NBC Asian America’s Voices to Watch and were winners of the Yes and, Laughter Lab for our original pilot. I was a regular performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade NY on Maude Night and now, proudly serve as one of the NY Artistic Directors.
As a writer, my work has been seen on MTV's Decoded and The Dodo and also, when I performed original comedic characters in two different NBC Diversity Showcases at The PIT and UCB.
I am a SAG-AFTRA, EMC actor and I studied at William Esper Studios, Anthony Abeson Studio and at Freeman Studio, UCB, The PIT, and Second City: Chicago. I have a robust theater and musical theater resume and performed at The Kennedy Center, Ford’s Theater and in Broadway Bares to name a few.
On screen, you can see me on Netflix’s Orange is the New Black and The Iliza Shlesinger Sketch Show, HBOMax/Comedy Central’s
The Other Two, and on NBC in New Amsterdam and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
Behind the scenes, I find so much joy coaching fellow actors and directing live and digital comedy.
I’m also a nature loving freak, so if you can’t find me on set or at a theater, I’m probably watching the sunrise on a beach or howling at the moon with my dog and husband. And before you ask me where I’m from and make it awkward for everyone, I am Filipina-Singaporean (Perankan, specifically!) but I was born and raised in America. But more than my ethnicity, I am my gifts. :)
Let’s collaborate!
