SYLVIE BORSCHEL


​first half
I was born near the Eiffel Tower, didn't get to keep any French citizenship and was raised in Springfield, Virginia. I've lived many lives (which makes fun facts easy at work): I was an All-American NCAA Division I gymnast at Temple University, a professional Blackjack dealer in Philadelphia for 2 years, and almost threw both those things away to become a professional Alto-Saxaphone player.
A NYC-based performer, I've performed live improv, character comedy, stand up and sketch comedy at Union Hall, the Comedy Cellar, Fat Black Pussycat, Littlefield, Asylum NYC, UCB, Brooklyn Comedy Collective, Club Cumming, Caveat and just about every bar in Brooklyn. I wrote, directed and performed a character-based solo show about my time as a blackjack dealer. The show was selected for Caveat's 2023 Projectorfest and Brooklyn Comedy Collective's 2024 Pitchfest. My improv team Go Dummy is currently (as of 6/1/25) on a winning streak at UCB's Cage Match with a tie for most consecutive wins (9-0).

Digitally, I have been featured on Cracked, BuzzFeed, Binging with Babish, a voiceover actor for Land of Boggs and The Vault, an animation true crime series that aired on Cheddar's live channel on Hulu. I also co-created a web series Park, Happening. with Liam Rowley - first episode available to watch now and we're heading back into production with 7 more episodes starting June '25.
