Hello! We are Dyani Rejae, Paige Elson, and April Rock – known in the comedy world as Anointed Greens. We are a sketch comedy group that performs regularly throughout Los Angeles, but we are also writers and actors in the real world! Collectively, our on-screen and writing credits include Z-Suite, Bel-Air, Frasier (reboot), Grand Crew, Twenties, Nickelodeon, Just Fab, and Apple, as well as UCB's Harold Night, Maude Night, Lloyd Night, being kissed by Seal, touched by Beyoncé, and DM'd by Mariah Carey. That last bit isn’t a credit; we just felt it was really important, too. As you can see, we’re Black Royalty and truly are Anointed (see what we did there?).
In addition to hosting this show, we have performed at SF Sketchfest, Flyover Comedy Fest, and UCB. Our shows have led us to be commissioned for sketches by Chris Rock and the multimedia comedy company Stapleview. Sketches are directed by actor, showrunner, and VO artist Ashleigh Hairston.
