Exploring Improv with Casey Feigh: From Minnesota to Edinburgh
In this engaging episode of 'Dan Has Questions,' host Dan interviews Casey Feigh, a multifaceted actor, writer, director, and producer who shares his journey from working at the mall to performing improv in Los Angeles. The discussion covers Casey's love for improv, the unique aspects of long-form improv versus short-form, and his passion for living in the moment on stage.
Holy Shit Improv started in July 2021 when Los Angeles was still in the throes of Covid lockdowns. Stand-ups had been performing for over a year in outdoor spaces and via zoom but there was no outlet for improvisers.
Casey Feigh wasn’t the only performer missing improv so he started putting on shows in a dive bar with a small stage and audiences flocked to it.
Now, with over 100 shows on their patreon, Holy Shit Improv perform regularly across LA venues including UCB, Dynasty Typewriter and The Elysian to sold-out houses. Holy Shit Improv also tour across the US and recently played sold-out shows in London, Liverpool and Edinburgh.
Listen as Casey delves into the joys and challenges of the improv scene, the importance of trying new things, and his philosophical reflections on life.
