Having dove into iO's improv program when I was but an infant (read: 19 y.o.), I've had the pleasure of playing on/with a whole host of teams and organizations in my tenure in Chicago's improv scene.
I've had the good fortune of teaching classes, leading workshops (you can hire me for this!), coaching teams, and performing at various festivals across the country. I went through the requisite hungry improviser phase of saying "yes, and" to most every opportunity, but now only have the time to dedicate to a [more] select few.
Some teams have retired, some shows were limited runs, some theatres have closed, but each of these teams and opportunities hold an important place in my Chicago comedy history, and I felt they deserved a spot on the ol' website. (honestly, this is probably still not an exhaustive list)
