“We had Andy come in and teach improv for our kids Jiu Jitsu summer camp and the kids absolutely loved it! He did a great job at starting with the games that all the kids of different ages could participate in before building on them and going into some other exercises. It was really funny, really well organized, and I would absolutely have him come back again. He made improv seem like an approachable discipline/art form for kids and for adults.”
