Best Nate Smith Ever!

curiouscomedytheater:

We got a pretty great review from SuperSlice for our opening set at the Bridgetown Comedy Festival.

“Curious Comedy Playas of Portland had the challenging task of opening for Theme Park and they scored laugh after laugh from the supportive crowd. I have the utmost respect for improv performers. In the art of comedy, improv is the closest thing to a tightwire act. That tennis match of, “Yes and,” is something to behold as it can be entertaining-as-all-hell or painful and awkward. As our colleague and reporter, Aaron Abrams, put it, “When improv comedy works, it works like some kind of miracle.” Luckily, or should I say skillfully, on this evening, the laughter far outweighed the cringe-worthy nanosecond. The Curious Comedy Playas are pros and you should check ‘em out in Portland soon…”

Pictured from left to right is me, Stacey Hallal (founder of the Curious Comedy Theater and one of the most amazing comedians I’ve ever known), Nathan Loveless (one my oldest and most favorite improv partners), and Leon Anderson (one of my newest and most favorite improv partners).
