A post from him about the first improv show he ever saw:
Monks Night Out at the Velveeta in 1995. I didn't like the show much, but I was impressed that everybody was making it up on the spot. I remember I enjoyed that, for a scene in which every actor played different genres, one guy took my suggestion of "blaxploitation," and the results were delightfully offensive. I kept coming back many times, because my friend Becca, a Monk, kept trying to convince me to take classes and join the Monks, because she thought I was funny. I saw Monks Night Out many times between 95-98, and I did love some of the shows. I never had the courage to attempt improv myself, however, until around ten years later.
