Back

"I have learned, enjoyed, and been inspired by the instructors at the Annoyance."

- J. Goudy

"I am always taken back by Mick's candor and vulnerability - he is inspiring to me, because he is himself all the time. No pretenses, no apologies. A whole person. And he is able to be present and be there with you, always trying to help you grow. Always supportive. "

- A. Black

"I have appreciated every minute of class. Some are terrifying, others are joyful. This is a GREAT PROGRAM! Who knows what will happen next, but this has been wonderful. For my first taste of improv, this was the best choice."

- L. Jones
