Paul Burke, Blacktop Comedy
'Instant Characters
with Improv'
or... How to Nail Your Next Audition That is Fast Approaching and You're Really Nervous with Lots of Thoughts in Your Mind and Maybe Your Mom Was Right About Pursuing Acting.....
​
We all want to nail that audition, but what does it take? How can improv help you win the role of your dreams? Paul has some tips, tricks, and exercises that will help you jump into any character, adapt to audition changes and help you let go of all that fear and anxiety. Sound like fun and something we could all use? It is!

Paul has studied at the famous Second City and ImprovOlypmic in Chicago, BATS in San Francisco, and with many of the best teachers including David Razowsky, Nick Armstrong, and Susan Messing. Paul opened Blacktop Comedy 8 years ago, and the theater has received a number of awards including been awarded the KCRA A-List Best Comedy Club, and Style Magazine Favorite Performing Arts Organization.
