Amy Fortnum

Teaching Faculty

Amy is a local performer, producer, director, award-winning writer, and all round creative enthusiast. Armed with two bachelor degrees from the WA Academy of Performing Arts, Amy believes improv is the perfect space to nurture inclusivity in theatre. Creator of 'Coded Comedy' — a fusion of musical improv, stand-up, and ChatGPT-generated content — her team regularly performs around Perth and across the Fringe Festival. Amy has performed with the likes of Anthony Warlow and Mirusia Louwerse, but finds her greatest joy in the genuine connections, discovery, and passion of the local arts community.

Amy joined the OTH teaching faculty in September 2024 and is hugely excited about sharing her wealth of experience with Perth’s students of improv.
