I want YOU to be a comedian!

For those of you who haven't heard, I've moved back to Nashville after doing some improv comedy training in Chicago. My next big project: open a full-time improv comedy theater and training center.



What do I need most? People. People like you.



Who, me?

Yes, you. Along with the person sitting next to you.



I'm no comedian... I'm a [butcher/baker/candlestick maker].

Not a problem. Some of the funniest people I've ever performed with have been teachers, lawyers, accountants, computer techs, and a whole lot of other professions. Heck, I was a cop for nine years myself.



I've never had any training, though.

Improv experience is nice, but it's not required. Nor is experience a guarantee that you'll become part of the ensemble. I'm looking for a group of people that are pleasant to work with, who are willing to go through a training session for a few months.



How much will all this improv comedy training cost me?

If you audition and make it into the ensemble, it's free!



When and where are the auditions?

It's still to be determined. Let me know if you're interested, though. I'll be starting a mailing list.



I've never done an improv comedy audition before. It sounds scary.

I plan to do a pre-audition workshop the week before auditions. It'll give you a little taste of what to expect, as well as what we're looking for. Again, let me know if you're interested.



How long will the training take?

I'm going to try to condense a whole bunch of training into three months. Then we'll form teams within the ensemble and have some time to rehearse as teams. Of course, the availability of a permanent theater space might cause this timeline to change. Figure on once a week training sessions of 2 hours each.



What if I start the training and realize that improv is not for me?

That's perfectly understandable. No hard feelings.
