Bennett Christensen, winner of the 2016 HUGE Hangout Auction, brings along Denzel Belin and John Gebretatose (of Sultans of Silly) for his episode. He poses the question, “what have you gotten out of improv?” which leads us to a discussion about making friends, developing community, overcoming social anxiety, and dealing with neurological disorders, schizophrenia, and Parkinson’s Disease. We also talk about diversity, taking breaks from performing, enjoying one’s friends’ accomplishments, and using improvisation’s inherent positivity to enjoy life.

We also have a lot of nice things to say about Jen Scott.
