I never went to acting school, so improv was my training. Just being quick on your feet helps in everyday life.

I never did improv professionally, but that was certainly in my training as an actor. I like it.

Improv has been immensely beneficial to me as both an actor and a writer.

I'm an improviser. I came up doing improv at the U.C.B. Theater in New York for seven years. That's where I started, so improv is what I love.

You know how sports teach kids teamwork and how to be strong and brave and confident? Improv was my sport. I learned how to not waffle and how to hold a conversation, how to take risks and actually be excited to fail.

I guess I've been training in the theater for as long as I can remember.

I took an improv class in 2005 in Chicago at ComedySportz, which was short-form, more of a games-based improv. I remember it being real fun and helping with my stand-up. If I did an improv class, and then I did stand-up later, I felt looser on stage and more comfortable.

I started doing improv in college, and I really liked it.

Improv training allows you to get out of your head a little bit and take more risks, which is something I would like to continue to improve upon.
