Deidre Dyer:

Deidre's interest in performing started at a young age.  After a few small parts in elementary school productions, her big break came in the form of the high school musical.  While earning her bachelor's degree, Deidre joined a musical theatre group, where her love for performing really blossomed.  After returning home she met and married the love of her life Brandon Dyer.  After entering the terrifying world of nursing Deidre began to find the comedy in life.  Her unique experiences in the worlds of medicine, pizza, and marriage have fostered her humor and brought her into the driving comedic force that is The Renegades.

Lou Leonardo:

Lou’s theatrical career began at the age of 6 when he was cast in the role of Santa Claus in his elementary school’s annual holiday production.  Since then, Lou has been very fortunate to learn from & work with some of the best and brightest in CNY theater.  Some of Lou’s favorite roles include Officer Krupke in West Side Story with The Talent Company, Humpty Dumpty in Alice in Wonderland & the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz with the Syracuse Civic Theater, Ladisov Sipos in She Loves Me with Wit’s End Players, Stanly in Hello, Dolly! with Theater ’90, and E.J. Lofgren in Harvey with Opening Night Productions.  Lou has also taken several improv classes through The Redhouse and with the improv troupe Saltine Warrior.  Lou took a break from the performing arts for a few years to focus on his health.  Now, 170 pounds lighter, he is ready to make ‘em laugh once again! (hopefully)  Lou is grateful to have this terrific opportunity be working with The Renegades.  He feels privileged to be working with such an amazing group of talented, imaginative, and hilarious people.  As always, Lou would like to thank his family and friends for their continual support and encouragement.

Jeff White: A Syracuse resident for most his life, Jeff found solace in the unique characteristic his hometown had to offer.  After seeking higher education and acquiring a much unused degree, discontent crept into his heart via his first after-college job.  Irked by indecision and frustration he moved to Southern California where he found his love for Improv at Los Angeles’ Second City.  Under the tutelage of his imaginary friends Jeff acquired the courage and desire to learn more about this therapeutic art form and expression which landed him in the most dangerous Improv Troupe in America, The Renegades, an autonomous democratic entity of levity.  You can see him today walking down side alleys vigorously speaking to no one in particular, motioning passionately into the air.  Approach him with caution!

Brandon Dyer: Brandon has a dream. That dream is putting on a live comedy show that is unlike anything you have ever seen before.  His combined experience producing video sketches, performing improvisational theater, and doing stand-up comedy has led him to The Renegades.

Aaron Geiskopf:

In 1989 Aaron Geiskopf was found in the rainforests of Brazil.  After being sold to an American family by Caribbean pirates he moved to Syracuse with his family and has been here ever since.  Aaron never learned to read and would one day like to start a dog pound.

Tim Hogarth:

Tim is a seasoned performer, best known for his work in the hit shows Uncle Frank's Mildly Cabin & Heavy Metal Vegan Cooking.  He joined The Renegades in hopes of picking up chicks, but soon realized that the level of onstage man-on-man groping was going to hinder such efforts.  He is currently pursuing a master's degree in Television, Radio, and Film at Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Communications.

Ron Sweet:

Ron Sweet performed sketch and improv for the first time when he was 12 years old with "Stage 11" in Colorado. After years of performing in other types of theatrical venues he was reintroduced to improv, and more specifically, long form improv in Hawaii with a troupecalled "Loose Screws". Falling in love with long form improvisation, he moved to Chicago to study at ImprovOlympic. He spent 2 years studying and performing long form improvisation at ImprovOlympic, as well as with various teams and venues around Chicago. Since returning to Syracuse Ron has performed in many local theater shows, was an instructor with The Syracuse Children's Theater, and taught an adult long form imrov class. If given the opportunity, Ron loves to talk about all of the famous and exciting people that he has met and performed with.  WARNING: Do not give him this opportunity!
