I am an improviser, filmmaker and teacher originally from Calgary, Alberta, Canada now living in Queens. For over ten years, I've worked at the much-beloved teen comedy program "The Clown Shop" at Buck's Rock Visual and Performing Arts Camp in New Milford, Connecticut, and am one of the creators and instructors of NYC's Magnet Theater Teen Improv Program. You can also check out my independent teen improv classes at www.TeenImprovNYC.com
I perform in a lot of stuff at the Magnet Theater. I'm on a Megawatt team there called The Yes Andersens. I also do this weird musical character improv show sometimes with my friend Angela called After School Music Club. I play the ukulele as well. Soon, I'm going to start performing with the children's theater comedy group Striking Viking Story Pirates. You should totally come to one of my shows!
Who I'd like to meet: Master operators, moving violators, jumping generators, grinding alligators, smoking fire-crackers, funky cracker-jackers, big bang operators, moonlight aviators, mass communicators, groovy agitators, comprehensive lovers, bad nasty mothers, sweethearts undercover.
im sad!! i've been talking with kenny, and rusty, and they go to ur improve class which i want to go to really badly!! I am so god damn busy this year though. I would drop out of school to go!!!!! :[ :[ :[ your gonna keep doing improve classes right, so i have another chance?
p.s. today [the 29th] was rustys birthday!! kenny should've told u i say hi so if he doesnt next time u see him, be like "kenny, u were suppossed to tell me that beryl says hi!!"
I enjoyed hearing your laugh during one of my lines at the Mixer on Saturday - in the scene with Jared and Chris. It was like "okay, I'm doing some alright improv."
Thanks for the kudos, buddy! I'm really happy you liked the song! I'm working on some new ones at the moment (including another Troma song), so keep your ears peeled. Mayhaps I'll see you at the Magnet tomorrow night?
It was so great to see you last night and that is a cool new picture. Have a great time in VANCOUVER!!! Post lots of pictures and let's keep in touch while we are half a world away.
