Friday  ·  7:30 PM The Soapbox  w/ Julian Pradeep

 

(Re)telling Tucson's Story

Born 'down under' in Australia, Julian's life has been an ongoing adventure. Before landing in Tucson four years ago, he spent most of his childhood in Seattle, lived in Atlanta, and even tried Boston for a short period. By day, Julian works as a hospital physical therapist, and when he's not saving lives, he's an avid traveler who has visited over 15 countries. He's been trying to escape the day-to-day his whole life and has found the perfect outlet as a company member at TIM. Offstage, you can find him hiking, volunteering, exploring new food spots, or enjoying a cozy rom-com with his wife.

Everyone has a story to tell. Four short and personal stories from our special guest will inspire Tucson's premier improv comedy team.

💡 Improv Jam at 6:30 PM before The Soapbox — free to try, just $5 to stay for the show!
