Kyle and Mikhail discuss how 'Buff Stuff' is the new 'Brutal,' get farted on by Matthew McConaughey in Improv Town, seek buried treasure on the high seas, and level up. Also, they're in stereo! Twitter: @KyleLMarshall & @LeaderGrev Music: Healing - In Love With A Ghost
Bruce Springsteen loves Improv Town. And America. Thanks to Stuart Moses of the Improv London podcast for getting us in touch with the boss. Check out his podcast for more great conversations about improv.
It’s season 2 of Improv Town and we are back at the Ocean State Improv Festival! In this episode I interview Christopher Simpson. In addition to running the fest, Chris is the artistic director of the Contemporary Theater Company in Wakefield RI, a theater that does both scripted and non-scripted work. We talk about how his theater started doing improv, why he thinks Johnstonian improv (impro) is the best fit for them and their community, and tons of other fun stuff. As always, if you enjoy this podcast please rate and review us wherever you listen.
Ryan "Hans" Murtha, a.k.a. Navy Kevin, joins Jarrod, Jim, and Clayon to celebrate his acceptance into film school. We talk about New Roseanne vs. Old Roseanne and the dreaded Low-T, and Clayon and Jarrod purposely annoy Jim by refusing to not talk about Wrestlemania. And it takes some time, but we actually talk about improv too. The Bit Players perform every Friday and Saturday night at 8pm at the Firehouse Theater in Newport, RI. BYOB. Tickets available at https://www.bitplayers.net/ Clayton Michaud hosts a podcast called Improv Town where he talks to great improvisers and it's really good and you should listen. https://soundcloud.com/user-778668636 The theme music is by Dorisduke, the band that is 75% Bit Players. https://dorisduke.bandcamp.com/
Welcome to Improv Town, the podcast where I interview my favorite improvisers from Rhode Island and a far about an improv topic I think they’re great at. Today’s episode is an interview I got to do with Finish improviser Kaisa Kokko while she was in Rhode Island teaching and performing at the Ocean State Improv Festival. Kaisa Kokko is an improviser, director and communication skills instructor from Finland. She’s studied music, special education, and has masters in Education. Kaisa has studied improv at iO Chicago, Unexpected Productions in Seattle, as well as under a bunch of other great teachers from around the world. In addition to her home country of Finland, Kaisa has taught and performed improv all over Europe and the United States, as well as places like Costa Rica and Peru. In this episode, we talk about teaching and touring internationally, doing improv in your second language, and her appreciation for silence in improv. We recorded this episode outside on the back deck of the Contemporary Theater in Wakefield right on the banks of the Saugatucket River. We were trying to capture the soundscape of Wakefield in June and we managed to pick up some pretty sweet bird sounds, but there are a few times where we also picked up some wind so there are two of three points where things get choppy for a few seconds, but it’s pretty short-lived so don’t freak out or anything ‘cause it’s a great interview As always, don’t forget to rate and review us on iTunes, now on to the interview!
