Improv

I perform improvised comedy with the Washington Improv Theater. Currently I am performing with JINX, a long-form troupe that explores the connections between seemingly unrelated things, people, and places. I also perform with iMusical, an improvised musical theater show that the Washington Post called "amusing," "gleefully vulgar," and "spot on." iMusical recently received a (rarely given) standing ovation at the Del Close improv marathon in New York, and one audience member said about one of my songs: "The song ... was so mind blowingly good. I wish I had a recording."

This summer I am producing an improv marathon called Improvapalooza. 7 hours, 34 shows, 10 minutes each. It's going to be awesome.

Come see a show! Or better yet, take a class. Improv classes are not only a ton of fun and a great way to meet people, they also expose your inner creative genius. You don't have to be "funny" to do improv, you just have to open your mouth and your ears at the same time. I am currently Teaching WIT's Level 1A Foundations class. It's awesome.
