Jenny Holden

This week I'm joined by Jenny Holden, a true veteran of the improv world who's put blood, sweat, and tears into the craft and performed all over the country and around the globe. We trace her winding path from a high school art kid at Dad's Garage, to wardrobe work in Las Vegas, to cutting her teeth in Chicago and touring professionally with the legendary musical improv team Baby Wants Candy.Along the way we get into some of my favorite topics: Musical improv and teaching. We discuss how short form quietly makes you a better long form player, and what it really takes to succeed at musical improv. Jenny also gets honest about achieving your dreams and the strange void that follows, the importance of taking breaks and actually living life, and her hard-won perspective on being a woman in improv — the old boys' club, generational divides, and what real change could look like. It's a warm, funny, and genuinely wise conversation.
