Episode 29 - Dave “Half Full” Nelsen

On the podcast today we delve into the importance of putting the audience first, dissect the rules of improv and when to break them, and analyze how knowing one’s (and other’s) strengths and weaknesses is a gateway to success. Initially hired by Dick Chudnow as a ballet-parker at CSz Milwaukee in 1997, Dave Nelsen would go on to be a player, referee, workshop instructor, and Applied Improvisation facilitator. He’s also a copyeditor who does business as The Grammar Geek—but more importantly, he’s married to the host of The ComedySportz Podcast, Christine “Rolo” Capriolo.
