The 2nd Annual Twin Cities Improv Festival is over. It was a wonderful time and I’m overjoyed that I was allowed to be a part of it. I took Friday off of work to properly celebrate improv from Thursday night to Sunday, which ended up feeling like a week long vacation. There were performances and hugs and late nights and drinking. It was a very good time. I performed with the Neutrino Video Project: Twin Cities and the Mustache Rangers, and felt the performances went well. At least, I didn’t feel crappy about them afterwards. The audience seemed to clap with enjoyment during the...

It is something very special for those who observe it, and has little to no impact on those who weren’t part of the experience. Last night, the Mustache Rangers had a pretty amazing set at Improv a Go-Go. The Mustache Rangers are two space adventurers from the 1920s that Corey Anderson and I created to play improv with. We’ve been playing these bumbling and immature characters on stage for a few years in the context of an ongoing serial space...

It doesn’t matter if you walk into a creepy alleyway, homeless people will follow you down there asking for cigarettes. Let’s start from the beginning, shall we? I’m involved in an improv group called the Neutrino Video Project: Twin Cities. With three cameras, three directors, three brave “runners,†and lots of improvisers, we create instant movies for audiences. On the last of Friday of every month at the Bryant-Lake Bowl, we take off from a packed theater to hit the streets and film a movie that will be run back to the packed theater for the audience to...
