It's Friday and time to get your funny on!
Our very own Dawn McMillan is bringing some laughter and light into your life every Friday with a guest from an exciting new place every week!

He's the founder of Tøyen Impro, Oslo Impro Festival, and the former director and co-founder of Impro Neuf. Check out his stuff and connect at terjebrevik.com.
