improv music directing
Ever since high school I have been obsessed with improvised comedy. I vividly remember watching Whose Line Is It Anyway? as a teenager, and when I moved to Sydney to study music in 2010 I started playing music for Theatresports shows. I quickly became Impro Australia's go-to-guy on the keys, and over several years played hundreds of shows at comedy and fringe festivals all over Australia. I also started teaching at improv festivals internationally.

In 2022 I moved to Chicago, and started playing shows at the renowned improv theaters The Second City, The Annoyance, and iO. The next year I had a bucket list opportunity when I was asked to fill in for the great Laura Hall – best known as music director of that very TV show I'd been watching as a teenager – playing a week of shows on tour around the US with improv legends Ryan Stiles, Greg Proops, Jeff B. Davis and Joel Murray.
I continue to perform regularly with the touring company and resident stages at The Second City. I've also performed with long running Chicago shows Baby Wants Candy, Shamilton, Hitch*Cocktails and Deep Schwa.
