Announcing New Guest Workshops!
Coming LIVE to your living room
That's right - thanks to the ✨magical power of the internet✨ we'll be bringing Rolland Lopez & Rich Baker from Rollin' in Riches live from their homes to yours!

P.S. - if you're looking for more ways to practice improv from your couch, we've still got our Improv Drop Ins every Monday & Unscrewed House Party this weekend. So until we can see you in person - we'll see you online!
Meet the Instructors
Rich Baker & Rolland Lopez
Rich Baker
A writer for Epic Rap Battles of History and author of the book Improv Made Easier, Rich Baker has performed with The Second City, ComedySportz Chicago, Mission Improvable, and the festival-headlining duo Rollin' In Riches.
A faculty member of The Second City since 2009 and freelance instructor, Rich has taught thousands of improvisers and performers across the country.
You can find his copious amount of content @richbakercoaching on Facebook and youtube.com/richbaker
Rolland Lopez
Rolland has been teaching and coaching improv for almost 5 years. He loves teaching, whether it's working with seasoned players or introducing Improv as a brand new concept to beginners.
His core tenets when teaching is to fully encourage while helping to guide and push students one small step outside of their comfort zone. Students have to reach but it's within their grasp and that way, learning, and incorporation of concepts can be easily done.
The exercises in his workshops are created with the real world (or stage) in mind. Players walk away being able to immediately use the concepts introduced the next time they're on stage.
He is currently a faculty member at the Westside Comedy Theatre and is based in Los Angeles. He's available to coach throughout the city as well as online and can also come to your town!
Saturday, May 16 - Rolland Lopez Workshops
Noon - 2pm: DOING DUO
If you've mainly done large group improv or even if you've been doing 2-person improv for a while, this workshop will help you make that transition stronger to put on a show where you're never in the wings! *
* Actually, sometimes it's okay to be in the wings in a 2-person show...we'll go over that in the workshop!
