Character Night: Magnet Theater (September 28, 2025)

Character Night is NYC's best showcase for bold, hilarious, and wildly original solo characters, impressions, and bits. From some of the city's sharpest and most-driven comedic minds in the city, Character Night is packed with big choices, big laughs, and sometimes a big mess.

Slacker Two Ways: Easton, Pennsylvania (October 12, 2025)

Slacker is a fun, freewheeling longform structure for intermediate and advanced improvisors. The only constraint is that every edit is a tag-out. In this one-day workshop, participants will explore two distinct approaches to Slacker. The workshop will culminate with an evening performance where students will have the option to choose a single or hybrid approach to Slacker!

Sunday, October 12th, 11am-5pm (including 1 hour lunch break)
Performance at 7pm

Good Human Improv Company, 916 Northampton Street, Easton, Pennsylvania

Improv and Yoga RetreatS

After six wonderful years co-hosting groups in Nosara, Costa Rica, Emily Shapiro and I held our most recent Improv and Yoga Retreat in Ericeira, Portugal! Participants enjoyed daily improv and yoga sessions, delicious family-style meals, serene gardens, beachside hangs, game nights, clifftop mountain-biking and an excursion to Sintra.

We’re currently working on our next retreat, so please check back for more info. If you’re interested in getting the details once they’re ready, please contact me.
