This week I talk to some of the fine folks at American Improv Theatre (AIT) in California, founder Jeff Ringgold and teacher/performers, Amy Shank and Chris Shurland.

This episode was a scream to record!  We chat about AIT being haunted (and Amy finds out for the first time!), improv and audiences in the Bay Area and balancing improv with having other real world jobs.

And we question why ghosts never wear crop tops.
