Improv for the People..

August 28, 2009 by Rene Gube

Hey Fam,

I perform weekly as member of the house team Shakedown @ The Improv Collective. It’s every Wednesday from 9pm to 11pm in Hollywood. Here’s the flyer for next week:

The show also features some of funniest improv teams from the Upright Citizens Brigade & iO West communities. If you can make it out sometime, I would love it.

Chest Bump,
Rene

Dear Abe, Francis, Jaymar & everyone else,

June 13, 2009 by Rene Gube

Remember when we did this?

That was so much fun.

The afternoon we came up with this bit was the day before the first dress rehearsal (sorry, Alleulia). I remember the process being high stakes but low pressure. Enrique’s “Hero Song” on the radio and immediately someone says, “Let’s dance while Abe sings the shit out of this track.” Hilarious.

And the thing is, if I had to explain this bit to someone–some producer of a sketch show– I don’t know that I could sell it. Conceptually, it’s not breaking any ground. It doesn’t play on paper. But that afternoon, in that circle of guys, it made sense. Total sense. So much sense, that we had to stop every couple minutes to break for laughing at each other as we put together* that ridiculous choreography.

Remember that? That was a lot of fun.

Rene

*By “put together” I mean “straight up steal”, of course.

So I got a job as a counselor. I enjoy it, I love it, but I’m not passionate about it. (yet?)
I had a conversation about it with a buddy, who is in the field of social work. He dropped some insight and he is an example of someone passionate about their work. In fact, he made me realize what a blessing it is to be surrounded by people who are passionate, successful and great at what they do. I especially admire artists who are committed to perfecting their craft…

If you haven’t seen Rene’s improv groups [*] I highly recommend that you check out these performers who are on top of their comedic craft. It’s brilliant.

A ridiculously talented director/editor recently put my reel together. His name is Anthony David.

His skills are so sharp that he is at liberty to wake up when he wants, create a fighter on Tekken 5, hop online and straight dominate.

Sign him while you can.
