Three years ago today I got cast into the ensemble at Unexpected Productions

Three years ago today I got cast into the ensemble at Unexpected Productions—America’s oldest Theatersports company. A few months before, Dave Clapper had pitched the idea of doing a tribute show to honor Kevin. I never got to say goodbye to Kevin. He died during the pandemic. No memorial. No drunken wake at a pub with all of his friends. I not only loved Dave’s idea, my soul needed it. Dave wanted to ask Tony Beeman to be […]

The wisdom of Raz. (David Razowsky)

A few months ago I interviewed David Razowsky about his new book, life and why anything happens in this world. To say that David is my mentor would be an understatement. He led in me great personal change that extends beyond improv, and into my parenting and being a good husband. I thought I would share some of the things he taught me that I use on stage and in my life. Check in – […]
