Solid background with Second City nobody will make it more fun than Dave
I was a student in The Outliars for most of 2014 under Dave's direction and stage management. In these months, I went from proving that introversion and second-guessing can absolutely give way to knowing what to do in the spotlight and thinking so quickly on your feet that it befuddles the audience into laughter and appreciation. That's a long sentence, sure, but improvisation comedy is an art unto itself, and you need a good teacher-coach to really get you anywhere. Ultimately, I'd do it all again. Hopefully Dave's comedy will continue embiggening the most noble of comedy minds and willing players. Five stars.
