IMPROV

Improv is the basis of my life, both personally and professionally.

My greatest tool is Improv, and I use it every single day.

 

PARADOX

Dr. Guzan & Dr. Mayer of PARADOX make all kinds of completely improvised videos just for the heck of it (Type ‘The SqueezeBox Comedy Group’ on youtube), as well as perform their own PARADOX live show in Milwaukee with Mojo Dojo Comedy! Go see ‘em! Here’s a few videos from their channel:

 

Dr. Mayer of PARADOX uses his Office Hours to see a patient with a strange and active past...

Dr. Guzan of PARADOX uses his Office Hours to see a patient with serious bowel troubles...

The good Doctors work to stay fit so that Improvisational Medicine can flourish under their fine example!

 

IMPROMP2

C.J. & Craig have the most fun playing together, so why not do it for a bunch of people that just wanna laugh and enjoy themselves? Check out a few examples of how fun an Impromp2 show can be, and then watch more on their youtube channel ‘The SqueezeBox Comedy Group’!

What if the same event kept happening, but with a different setup each time? Craig & C.J. of Impromp2 perform an improvised game of 'Replay' that involves a hobo, a young vagabond, and eventually, a ghoul.

SqueezeBox Comedy

A Musical-Improv Show like no other, SqueezeBox Comedy was started by C.J. Guzan, Kevin MacLeod, and Craig Knitt. Their musical and improvisational chemistry wowed audiences all across Wisconsin all the way to 2018, when they finished touring. Every other improv show C.J. travels with stemmed from this show, which is where the namesake of his collective group was taken. Fins more on their youtube channel ‘The SqueezeBox Comedy Group’!

 

Craig only speaks in Blues... C.J. shall translate...

An awkward campground. A crowd that has never seen Improv before. A difficult situation handled brilliantly with Improv.

 

Improvisation in Acting

Improv skills are considered by many to be a valuable commodity, and C.J. works to hone those tools to have a sharper edge by the end of each project. Watch some examples of C.J. improvising on the set.

 

I was given a little space to Improvise for the Rawhide Boys Ranch Commercial! Here's a few of the outtakes from the day! :D
