The Improv Life: My 80th Show of The Year

Synchronicity

The Improv Life: My 80th Show of  2023

I can’t believe it’s been 2 weeks since my 80th show of the year!

And here’s what made it so special – it was the 8th Duo It Again on the 8th day of the 8th month of the year!

What do you call that?

I call that synchronicity!

Synchronicity is a crazy concept that even I can’t explain succinctly, but it’s the idea of random coincidences having a deeper causality to them, as if being propelled by a larger unknown force.

What is that force? Destiny maybe? I don’t know. But I do know all these coincidences lining up into a crescendo of 8s serve as a cosmic validation that I’m on the right path.

These past 14 months have been rough, but this beautiful thing called Duo It Again came into my life, and it’s saved me in more ways than I realize, especially the part of creating art and facilitating community with Kristen Gull as FernGully.

Sometimes we get redirected onto the path we’re supposed to be on; we just don’t know it at the time because rapid change feels like punishment, but it’s really funneling you where you’re supposed to be.

This show has been a gift to my life, and I’m so grateful for all the abundance it has brought to my life in my form of new memories, artistic insights, and a burgeoning community that is down to take risks and have fun.

I don’t know? Do what calls you. Experiment. Learn from losses and document wins. The journey is endless. Have fun and keep learning. Enjoy the moment, but don’t cling onto it too tightly. Just breathe and be grateful.

Show 80 of 2023

I just did 6 shows in 6 days!

The Best Week of My Life

Just did 6 shows in 6 days!

And I booked 66 performers too!

And I performed at 4 amazing LA Theaters: The Lyric Hyperion, The Glendale Room, UCB, and The Pack Theater!

I did 3 improv shows, 1 bit show, 1 game show, and 1 sketch show!

This was probably the biggest week I’ve ever had as a performer.

Of all the hats I wear, that’s the one I wear the easiest.

The shows were good – I mean like they were fire good!!! – but hanging out with so many of my amazing peers from across different LA communities was probably the thing I’ll remember the most.

Plus, I got to hangout with Kristen Gull all week, which was a gift.

My life has been filled with extreme highs and lows as of late, but it felt good to have an amazing week like this past one, s week that was unlike anything I’ve ever done. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

The Wildest Improv Duos Show is Back!

Art work by Melissa Funes

Duo It Again is Coming Back to The Lyric Hyperion on Sunday, February 19th!

Happy to announce the return of Duo It Again!

And I’m going to need duos!

Last time was a bonkers experience that resulted in one of the wildest, most inventive, most soul invigorating nights of improv I have ever participated in and been witness to!

The show’s premise: 20+ duos improvise the same scene over and over again with every scene being unique and different from the previous one and the one right after.

I’m hosting it again with my FernGully tag team partner, Kristen Gull, on Sunday, February 19th at 9pm at The Lyric Hyperion.

But I need your help – I need as many duos as I can muster for this grand improv experiment!

So if you want to take part in Duo It Again, please comment below or DM me. I’m taking duos as well as solo riders. If you’re a solo rider, I’ll pair you up with another solo rider. I want to book this show ASAP, so please let me know if you want to do this show!
