Player Interviews

How long have you been doing improv comedy?
After college I was in Buffalo NY and wanted to perform, but I didn't have a car so I couldn't get around well. I saw an audition notice for Comedy Sportz and the commitment at the time was only 1 or 2 nights a week. So with the help of my sister who would drive me there I auditioned and got in. After moving to Chicago it seemed like a natural progression to continue with Comedy Sportz. Yeah - really exciting story.

What brought you to ComedySportz?
The versatility of the show. The ability to change up, tweek, or tailor a show to an audience is limitless and is normally done in the midst of the show.

Phil Hartman. He's one of the best comedic character actors ever.
