Why We Do What We Do – Meet Some More Players!

In many studies that look at this kind of thing, public speaking is the number one fear of human beings. Add on the pressures of making things up on the fly and trying to be funny…and you might wonder why it is ComedySportz Indianapolis actletes choose to do what they do. If only there was some sort of comprehensive list of ComedySportz Indianapolis players and why they love improv comedy…

Great news! See below…

Strange David Fuller
I do ComedySportz because in learning to accept and expand others’ ideas, I’ve learned to accept and expand on my own. In learning to find the joy in others’ ideas, I’ve learned to find joy in my own. In learning to trust that others have my back, I’ve learned how to be trustworthy. In learning that others have confidence in me, I’ve learned confidence in myself. Plus, I haven’t found anything else that makes showing off and goofing off this much fun.

Kirk Keevert
In 1991 a friend called, asked if I’d seen the auditions in the paper and insisted I attend. Because of that phone call I have the good fortune to get up in front of a bunch of strangers a few times a month and help them forget about the crap that’s gone on the previous week. I’d be lying, though, if I didn’t admit that not all of my reasons for doing this are quite so altruistic. I’m a Leo and I love the attention. But my favorite thing I’ve gotten out of ComedySportz is that I am a member of a family, a real, strong, loving and supportive family that lives all over the country and in Europe.

I’m in a class of eight other actors and directors at my graduate school, and the professor leads us in an improv game that I have played as routine at ComedySportz: Bippity Bippity Bop. Many of the others had never played before, so at first they focus intently on getting it right. Then suddenly they realize it isn’t about getting it right; it’s about being a group and working together on getting energized. That’s why I do ComedySportz: the transformation from a routine life to a joyful, energetic, family. I laugh at how foreign that game was to them, but within minutes they weren’t outsiders anymore. Confidence comes out of that focused, supportive environment.
