Friendly tip for improv students looking to get better at genre structure but overwhelmed by the ones everyone seem to know (Marvel, Star Wars, etc.)

Watch TV from other countries. No pressure to know large amounts of lore & you focus on If This Is True, What Else Is True?, Mapping & Consistency:

I am available to guest and/or fill in for your Los Angeles improv show if you'll have me (and I'm in town).

I miss performing in LA. Feel free to DM me. Thank you, my friends.

Tilly Norwood was in my Level 3 class at iOWest. Took the class because her agents told her too. Negated all my gifts. Never did a single grad show.

It's BOC & The 60 Second Decon! (I’m a Deconstruction expert. Google me, it’s okay.)

THIS…is “Clooney Roberts Lopez”. Let me know what "Decon" you want me to do next!

You haven't truly suffered until you've used up every line in your phone's contacts because you're friends with a pro wrestler.

Every few years I have to remind everyone about one of the greatest albums ever made by the pride of Lenoir County, Jack Sabbath.

23 tracks. All killer, no filler.

Always, always, ALWAYS make your art. It *will* live on.
