What’s one thing you want everyone to know about you:
I LOVE to crochet. I learned as a little boy and have been doing it ever since. I can honesty make just about anything with a ball of yarn a number 4.0 hook.
what do you like about improv:
I think it’s amazing how a whole comedy performance can be created out of nothing. It begins with just a few people on stage, and as they come up with funny ideas on the spot, it turns into an entire room full of people laughing. It’s like magic!
