August 2026! Patient 13, my dark comedy solo show, goes to Scotland for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. 
Acting
For me, acting is about preparation, listening, embodying a character to bring the larger story to life. Improv comedy was my first love, followed by sketch, theatre, standup, and TV/Film. I’ve worked extensively in commercials and voiceover.
Patient 13, my award-winning dark comedy solo show is coming to NYC in September 2025.
As a writer/comic/storyteller, I’m onstage frequently. In 2023-24, I created a Patient 13 a full length dark comedy one-person show that received rave reviews in the Hollywood Fringe Festival and a three-week run at one of Los Angeles’ most respected theaters, Rogue Machine at the Matrix Theater. More info at Patient 13. Coming to NYC in September 2025.
Other highlights include My BFF, an award-winning short comedy film that I starred in, wrote, produced, and directed. I’ve starred in critically-acclaimed Off Broadway shows. My favorite role was Rosalind in As You Like It in Washington Square Park. TV credits include Law and Order SVU, and Malcolm Lee’s Morningside Prep.

How far would you go to keep a friend?
When Gail discovers her new best friend Liz has an even better friend, there’s only one way to catch up…and it’s pretty freaking cold.
A gripping roller coaster ride of emotions.
Her performance in PATIENT 13 is a gripping roller coaster ride of emotions. As she skillfully recounts her story, I am in awe of her perseverance and impressed by her resilience. I was deeply moved witnessing her standing ovation, seeing the tears of joy streaming down her face… Go for the story and leave with Hope.

She’s Perfected an Ernest Deadpan
Gail Thomas makes a terrific Almighty. In lab coat and glasses, she’s perfected an earnest deadpan, marked by the occasional sly grin of pride.

Super-Funny
Gail is a terrific actress who adds a lot to the words. She definitely makes whatever script we’ve handed to her better. She’s super-funny and a true pro in the booth.
