Total Fiasco
Join us for an improvised fiasco inspired by the acclaimed roleplaying game Fiasco and the hilariously dark worlds of the Coen Brothers (think Fargo, The Big Lebowski, and Burn After Reading).
I’m a performer, producer, director, and tech specialist in the Dallas improv and comedy scene. My home base is Stomping Ground Comedy Theater, where I serve as Tech Specialist & Producer.

Now Playing
Malicious Compliance
Malicious Compliance is Stomping Ground’s newest house team, and they tackle the legendary Harold improv format pioneered at io Chicago and UCB. Starting with a single word from the audience, the cast weaves together three distinct storylines, whimsical group games, and recurring characters out of thin air. Watch in real time as these seemingly unrelated scenes collide and intertwine.
Sporks Out
As one story ends, another begins. Sporks Out immerses you in a life, told from death. While an author pens the tale; we sing the story. All things have an end; we supply the coda. Co-directed with Lynsey Hale.
Can We Have a Prime Time Slot?
The Harold is one of the most influential formats in improv comedy. With a simple suggestion from the audience, Can We Have a Prime Time Slot? will find a thematic core to explore in three distinct sets of scenes. Enjoy the chaos of the third act as all the stories collide.
Off Off Broadwayish
Crowd favorite Off Off Broadway…ish reinvents and performs musicals you’ve probably never heard of with the help of the audience and their twisted minds. Winner of the 2024 Improv Throwdown.
The Drawing Room: An Improvised Regency Play
In this evening of unscripted elegance, The Drawing Room takes a single suggestion from the audience and spins it into a full-length play worthy of Jane Austen herself. From the scandalous whispers of a ballroom to the sweeping moors of the countryside, every character, secret engagement, and dramatic swoon is created live on the spot.
Thunderdome
Stomping Ground THUNDERDOME is a competition-style improv show where individual improvisers compete to win in the future dystopian arena of SG until only one improviser is left as the victor! (In April 2026 I swapped the booth for the arena and competed.)
Brave Space
On hiatus. Returns January 2027, 4th Sundays.
Brave Space at Stomping Ground Comedy is a free-to-attend, community-driven improv night. It’s a live improv show built around three sets: two pre-booked indie improv teams or duos performing new and experimental work, and one lottery-selected set where willing audience members and veteran performers get pulled to play alongside Stomping Ground’s Improv Heroes. Formerly Extra Credit.
Not Myself Today: A Character Comedy Night
Join us for Not Myself Today, a live comedy show where talented performers unleash their wildest imaginations to bring you a hilarious parade of brand-new, original characters! From the absurdly mundane to the delightfully bizarre, you’ll meet a cast of comedic creations you won’t soon forget.
My F*cked Up Thanksgiving
Forget the traditional stage; Stomping Ground’s longest-running show is an immersive, improvised experience like you’ve never seen. Meet the host family and their quirky relatives, and then watch as simmering resentments boil over into a full-blown Thanksgiving meltdown. They’ll move throughout the theater for drinks, dinner, dessert, and one big night of drama.
Past Shows
EvilProv: An Unscripted Uprising
EvilProv, the show where everything’s made up and your soul is forfeit. A cast of demonic performers, led by host Ashen Graves, brings you improv games direct from the underworld.
Mic Droppings
Mic Droppings invites you to share what’s been getting on your nerves. Our improvisers will take your everyday annoyances and drop the mic on them; transforming them into hilarious, unscripted comedy right before your eyes.
The Last Five Years
An emotionally powerful and intimate musical sprinkled with humor, The Last Five Years tells the bittersweet tale of a relationship between two young artists. The storytelling is non-linear: Cathy, a struggling actor, starts her tale at the end of the marriage, working backwards through the timeline. Jamie, a literary prodigy, begins his at the onset of the relationship. With music and lyrics by Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown, this musical has captivated audiences and critics, earning a Drama Desk Award, a film adaptation, and productions around the world.
Now THAT's What I Call TV! The Improvised '90s Sitcom
This improv show takes everything you loved (or maybe hated) about 90s family sitcoms and cranks it up to eleven. Think wacky plot lines, gag-worthy fashion choices, and those awkward life lessons delivered with a healthy dose of canned laughter. Two seasons.
Spaghetti Confetti: A Famili-Friendli Improvised Musical
Spaghetti Confetti is a fun, family-friendly improvised musical for all ages. Watch as our talented cast of musical comedians create an exciting and unscripted musical, full of adventure, courage, and heart that the whole family can enjoy.
That Bites: An Improvised Teen Paranormal Romance
Love. Angst. Sparkles. Youth. That Bites takes everything you love (and love to laugh at) about Twilight and amplifies it in this completely improvised, hilariously romantic parody.
The Improvised Hallmark Christmas Movie
In this limited series, a cast of characters will improvise all your favorite Christmas storylines- the career-obsessed Christmas-hater, the bad-at-love baker, the evil real estate developer hell-bent on ruining a small Christmas-obsessed town, and more!
You Can Count on Me
You Can Count on Me does the iconic JTS Brown format. Imagine a comedic chain reaction where one spontaneous scene ignites the next in a dazzling display of storytelling ingenuity.
Whose Mind Is It Anyway? An Artificial Intelligence Experience
Co-created with Lynsey Hale. AImee, our bespoke Artificial Intelligence, and her befuddled Lab Assistant lead a team of performers through a grand experiment into human behavior that questions AI’s role in creativity (and improv comedy). It returned in late 2024 as Artificial Reality Meets Artificial Intelligence, a live, unscripted social experiment.
Welcome to Your Town
Delve into the heart of Your Town’s civic engagement in this immersive long-form show. Attend the town hall meeting alongside passionate residents, where you’ll have the chance to bring up the topics for them to debate. Coached by Tim Miller.
Midnight Vault: An Improvised B Movie
Midnight Vault presents an improvised low-budget horror film (e.g. Plan Nine from Outerspace), hosted by a campy horror-themed persona (ala. Count Floyd or the Crypt Keeper) in the style of late-night midnight movies.
Haunt 'em Leap: A Ghostly Narrative Improv Show
A ghost struggles to tidy up their unfinished business. The audience summons a new ghost with a unique (and totally pointless) task each show.
