Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson Has An Improv Background!
While a student at Harvard, Judge Brown Jackson was on their improv team “On Thin Ice.” I don’t know that we’ll ever get to see any of those performances (and probably best we don’t), but it’s pretty incredible knowing that an improviser is going to be sitting a member of the highest court in the land.

The Sideshow Returns!
When I first got involved in Philly comedy back in 2009 the shows to see / perform at were few and far between. PHIT only had the Shubin Theater for 2 weeks out of each month, which left performers with nothing to do and students with nothing to see. For that reason, in 2011 I […]
