Justin Porter

Justin attended the USC Film school in Los Angeles, CA and has worked in the visual effects industry at Luma PIctures for over 7 years, where has collaborated on such films as True Grit, Avengers and the upcoming Doctor Strange.

Justin trained in improv at I.O. West in Los Angeles, where he performed on the mainstage Harold Team Waterloo before moving to Australia. He has since performed regularly with Improv Conspiracy in the Melbourne Fringe Festival 2014/’15/’16 and Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MCIF) 2014/’15/’16, along with the sell-out show Improv Against Humanity(Fringe/MCIF 2016) and ‘Now Showing: The Improvised Movie’.

In MCIF 2016 Justin directed Daniel Pavatich’s sketch comedy show #1 NINJA and was part of the four-man improvised soap opera Gays of Our Lives, whose sell-out proceeds were donated to Minus 18, Australia’s largest network for GLBTIQ youth. Previously Justin toured to Austin, Texas  to improvise with Adam Kangas, Daniel Pavatich and Marcus Willis as part of Bear Attack in the Out Of Bounds Comedy Festival which then went on to Melbourne Fringe 2014 and MICF 2015.

In 2009-2010 Justin was part of a sketch troupe that performed in a monthly comedy show at the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center. With several of those members he formed an offshoot comedy group called CraBiMoSi (Crazy Bitches Mostly Single) which filmed various sketch comedy projects, including the popular and sometimes controversial Pocahontasmusic video (parody of Lady Gaga’s ‘Paparazzi’). Justin has contributed to the monthly sketch show Champagne Factorysince 2015 and is writing and staring in ApocOlympics a two man sketch show with Dan Pavatich in the 2016 Melbourne Fringe
