If you get the chance to take an improv class with Maria Peters - DO IT. She is an incredible mind in improv and has worked with legends. Her empathy and creativity in improv is some of the best I have ever seen. I have always enjoyed seeing Maria Peter improvise. There was one time I was in an improv class with her and the whole class did a group scene. During the scene, I could tell she literally listened to me. She literally heard me and supported me. So many others were trying to impress the

Ros Beeson

I have had the privilege of seeing Ros perform several times and host improv shows. She has an authentic and vulnerable connection with the audience. Her simple shrugs, smiles or facial expressions commands the audience - because I feel like "friendship" is somehow inherent in her style. I saw her Twilight Zone themed improv show, "After Dusk" and immediately thought, "I need to interview her." I am so curious as to her improv philosophy and what drives her to perform. I hope you enjoy this

Luana Proenca said in a comment on Facebook: " We don't tell stories, we enter them." Now, I have been following Luana's journey via social media but that comment really struck me and I wanted to know more. I loved hearing her detail this philosophy in improv. And it really inspired me. I have always felt that our service in improv is both to cater to the audience but not placate them - as humble guides through our stories. We are trail masters and taking care of the audience as precious cargo

Dr. Julian Waite

2025/04/10

Dr. Julian Waite has been one of the most influential people in my life. He was the supervisor for my Master's Thesis. His thoughts on documentation have resonated with me years later. Not only is he extremely intelligent, he is also a REMARKABLE performer. I have seen him perform several times - in fact he was in one of my improv shows. One of my FAVORITE jokes he made during that show was he was giving a scene notes. And he instructed them to hit the high notes of the scene, and the low notes of

Monica Cordero-Cruz is such an amazing mind (and heart) in improv. I happened upon one of her thoughts online and it caused me to think so many thoughts - about culture and colonization in improv. I am so so so so thankful for this conversation. I hope you enjoy the interview as well! You can catch Monica on the team SPIT improv in Manila. Here is a link: https://www.facebook.com/spitmanila/ They have over a MILLION followers on Facebook!

Colin Mee is a strategic and empathetic improviser. I have had the pleasure of hearing his perspective on improv (in bits and pieces). I was so happy to be able to sit down and hear a deeper share on how he attacks improv as a practice. I am so thankful for his time.

I am so happy to finally present this interview with Roderick Millar. The first time I watched Roderick perform was as part of Somewhat Theatre at the Robin Hood Improv Festival in 2024. That show was ELECTRIC. It was so good. Roderick regularly comments on social media posts with such great analysis and communication of his ideas. I have been wanting to chat with Rodericl Millar for such a long time about his views on improv.

Whit Shiller - FINALLY, I get a chance to interview and get to know Whit Shiller a bit better. Such a fascinating mind in improv. I love his angle on the practice and Whit uses improv to create points of commonality. I met Whit through his improv podcast, Improv Comedy Connection. He has some AMAZING guests on there. Not only that, but he gets them to talk about some interesting stuff!! Check it out here: https://improvcomedyconnection.com/category/improv/ He is also the engine behind Fish Sticks

2024/11/06

Andel Sudik and I have some of the BEST chats abourt improv. The way she views the practice, the community and the business of improv always inspires new thought in me. Her mind is placed in centralizing the positive pursuit of improving at improv - which may be skills, content or community! She looks at how improv shows/teams fit into an overal fabric of the practice which reached out beyond time and distance. I hope you enjoy this interview with Andel. I feel fortunate enough to consider her a

Holly Bartolo - improv journalist and enthusiast

2024/09/19

I believe that the only thing more important than all the efforts of improv teachers and institutions, could be in the documentation of the practice. Recording shows, interviewing teachers, debriefing after shows ... it is an overlooked value in improv. Holly Bartolo runs the Phoenix Remix, a fantastic resource for improv documentation, information and trends. I highly regard the cannon of her work. You can check out the Phoenix Remix here: https://thephoenixremix.com I am so honored to have
