Josh Erich
(Performer)
Josh, an improv nomad, has been performing on various NYC stages for many years now, and has hopefully found a permanent home with Naturally Delicious. Most recently he performed with Between Us Productions in their improv showcases as well as in Samantha Jone's "The Ring". "Watching him perform is akin to seeing the Lord himself" said one crazy homeless person who no one asked their opinion of. Josh frequently has also been known to sell himself, but only as a freelance graphic designer, or as a prostitute (if the price is right and his wonderfully supportive wife approves).

Kimberly Marie Freeman
(Performer)
Often compared to a modern day Joyce Grenfell, actress, singer and producer Kimberly Marie Freeman founded Bedlam Ensemble in 2011.
Kimberly's previous improv and comedy work has been seen at The Grown Up's Playground, The P.I.T, and the prestigious Edinburgh Festival on 3 separate occasions. Non funny work include, "Much Ado About Nothing", "Alice In Wonderland", "The Marionettes" (which was translated into English especially for the UK premier), "Measure for Measure" "Mrs Warrens Profession", "Wyrd Sisters" and "Macbeth" to name but a few.
Kimberly once slept with the mouse in Russel Brand's hair, had a conversation with John Lennon at the Edinburgh Festival and may or may not have stalked Jonathan Ross!
Kimberly desperately wants to be the bastard love child of Eddie Izzard. If you have any hook ups's, let her know!
And yes, her accent is real!!
