I had a lovely time discussing the role of comedy in improv last Friday for The Nursery with their Artistic Director and Teacher Chris Mead.
I was in great company with these incredible other guests:

He worked as Artistic Director of RFT for nine seasons, creating of the long-form show CHIMPROV, the RFT Improv Academy, and Canada’s biggest impro festival IMPROVAGANZA.
