Bio[]
Spooky Ghost is a New York City based Lloyd Team at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. They were one of the original four Lloyd Teams, and the first team to audition together and get placed as a complete team. They performed weekly during Lloyd Night at the UCB East Theatre. Their first show was April 4, 2012.
They began as a harold-focused indie team and for some time hosted a weekly improv show in the dingy basement of The Triple Crown.
