My improv friend Amanda has a new website, so I thought I’d send some link love her way. And while I was at it, I added a boatload of links to my blogroll (on the right on the main page). If you have some free time, take a look — there’s a pretty broad mix [...]

Wow! Has it really been a year since I started improv? Indeed it has. Tonight my Improv 500 class starts. That’s the last class in the series at Unexpected Productions. Time flies when you’re having fun, huh?

Michael White was my teacher for Improv 400, and he was undoubtedly one of the best teachers I’ve ever had for any subject. It was truly an awesome class. Michael is also a hypnotherapist, and he recently posted a podcast using hypnosis to help people overcome a fear of clowns. Even if you’re not afraid [...]

Ok, here it is. The video from this our Improv 400 showcase is up.
The first video is what we called the “Neapolitan.” The other three are simple two, three and four person scenes, respectively. I’m in the Neapolitan and the two person scene (warning: I accidentally let a curse word out in that one — [...]

The show last night… happened.
Overall, I think it went well. I’m very lucky to have a great group of classmates to work with, and they did a great job. I’m not thrilled with my performance. It wasn’t horrible, but it was far from my best. There was more randomness than usual, I think. It’s frustrating [...]

I’m performing with my Improv 400 class tonight in the Unexpected Productions BIG Class Showcase! The show is at 8pm at the Market Theater, 1428 Post Alley in Seattle. If you’re in Seattle and you don’t have plans tonight, come see us. It’ll either be really great or really terrible — I guarantee it’ll be [...]

Try as I might to come up with a reasonable excuse for failing to write for so long, I just can’t do it. There is no excuse. It just seems that the longer I wait, the harder it gets (that’s what she said). But I finally forced myself to do it; I hope you can [...]

I got back yesterday from two weeks of orientation and training at the Googleplex in Mountain View. I’m a full official Googler (and a Noogler) now.

I had a blast in Mountain View, and I got to visit some great friends while I was down there. But two weeks is a long time to be away [...]

I’ve finished uploading the rest of the videos from our improv show. All of the ones I was in were included in my last post, but you can now see the whole improv 200 performance on this YouTube Playlist.
I also uploaded a video of the Improv 500 performance from that show. I wasn’t involved in [...]

As I mentioned in my last post, my first improv show ever was last night. That’s right — I had never before performed in front of anyone except my kind and generous classmates and teachers. The show was a student showcase, for the end of the winter session of classes at Unexpected Productions. Classes 200 [...]
