Improv Olympic - Yeahhh it's Funny

Comedy is just one of those things that each person has a different opinion about. But in the world of Improv Comedy it's on another level, I personally feel that you're engaged in something so memorable after each time you witness it. Now.....who am I talk about all this like I actually know whats up, WELL, I'm just an amature in the game who is really enjoying the process. Currently I'm taking an entry level workshop at IO in Hollywood and am loving every, angry, psycho, and humiliating minute. A few years back I took a workshop at the Groundlings, But for some reason I've been connecting a little more this go-around. The Improv Olympic Alumni list includes Chris Farley, Mike Myers, Andy Dick, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and basically everyone who has had you laughing. From June 1st thru the 7th IO WEST is having thier 6th Annual Commedy Festival.

Its gonna be pretty cool, Both Students and Alumni will be in attendace. There are going to be some of the best shows Improv has to offer. All the Info can be found at iowest.com. If your in the area drop by, Cause I know there will be alot of funny people in and around IO West.

Now if everything went the way I wanted it, I would eventually be one of the successful Alumni that has trained and performed there. But lets not jump to conclusions. I'll check back the with this Blog next week to share all that happened & Hopefefully I will get to meet Charna Halpern. Charna along with the late Del Close were the masterminds behind IO. Charna can be seen currently on MTV's The Real World 20 as she instructs the new cast.

PEACE & THOUGHT FREEDOM
