45: Artist’s Brain - Nick Armstrong - Trusting Your Gut, The Business of Improv, Rocky IV

EVERYONE!!! It’s Nick Armstrong!!! NOT ONLY is he an incredible improviser (King Ten, Local 132) but he has also been an instrumental part of connecting and building the larger improv community with Camp Improv Utopia, theImprovNetwork.com, and Rise Comedy Theater in Denver, CO. Nick has strengthened the world’s improv community, and as a result, he’s helped cultivate the growth of improv as an art form. Nick Armstrong is a treasure.

In this episode, we cover how trusting your gut might be the most important skill you can build, the challenges of managing an improv business, and how, believe it or not, improv is supposed to stay fun! Also, Nick and Andrew discover their shared love of Rocky IV.

Connect with Nick on Instagram through Camp Improv Utopia @improvutopia and Rise Comedy Theater @risecomedy. And if you’re an improviser you should jump on The Improv Network at TheImprovNetwork.org - it’s a wonderful resource for improvisers to find coaches, festivals, and other improvisers.
