Zane Roth is In The Hole. Dayenu. Roth is an improv snob turned Marty Supreme lover. We discuss The TikTokification of Improv and what it truly means to have a love of the game. I am lucky to know such a pure ray of sunshine. His optimism and drive inspires all who know him. In times of need, always remember, WWRD (What Would Roth Do?).

When and where to find Broken Couch Improv is posted on Instagram at @brokencouchimprov. Roth & Santos will be part of the twoprov tournament (run by UCB) starting May 14th at the QED. I anticipate they will also be at the next rounds at The Rat and UCB in the weeks to follow (May 18th, 20th, and 24th).
