Expert Of...Veterinary Medicine

"Expert Of..." is a long-form improv show where we first interview an Expert in their Field. Between the short interviews, we have a talented set of improvisers who utilize the Expert’s answers to inspire their hilarious scene work. Time allowing, we open the floor to the audience to ask the Expert questions.

Over the years, our Experts have included a Pulitzer Prize-winning Presidential Photographer, a Sommelier from a Michelin Two-Star Restaurant, a Community Composter, a Luxury Watch Repair Technician, The Curator of The Hollyhock House and a Head Coffee Roaster.

For our show on March 12, 2026, our Expert Of...Veterinary Medicine is Dr. Julia Popish!!
Dr. Popish has been a veterinarian since 2019, though she grew up around the profession; her dad and grandfather were both vets, too! Her focus is on small animals - dogs and cats - which keep her busy as she provides surgical, dental and comprehensive medical care to the pets of LA. She has also spent 4 years as a “Virtual Veterinarian” and was one of the first to provide telemedicine to pets starting in 2020. When she is not in the clinic, she’s probably entertaining her own crazy dog, Phoebe.
