Workshop with Rob Riggle, Improv 201 ends

This past weekend I had an awesome opportunity to take an improv workshop at UCB with Rob Riggle! Rob is a former UCB student who has gone on to great success in film and television. He was on Saturday Night Live, and has been in several of my favorite movies and shows like Step Brothers, Talledega Nights and The Office.

Rob is a very smart and funny guy, who seemed genuinely nice and happy to be there, sharing his knowledge. It was simultaneously exciting and nerve racking to perform in front of someone who I admire as much as him, but to his credit, he made it a laid back and welcoming enviroment. I`m happy he`s staying so busy working in LA, but I hope he can make it back here for more of these from time to time! These are the kind of opportunities I was excited about when I got involved at UCB.

Speaking of UCB, the day of my workshop with Rob was also the day of my Improv 201 class show. I had a great time in 201, and was actually sad to see it end. I should find out soon if I get accepted into 301, but in the meantime, I`m already missing improv!
