Bios
Brian Thomas Fithian ‘10 was born June 3rd, 1988. He grew up in the small town of Poquoson, Virginia with his three older and really awesome siblings: Rachel, Diana, and William. Brian’s favorite color is red. His favorite book is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. His favorite restaurant is in Virginia - you probably haven’t heard of it. Most importantly, his favorite place on earth is Walt Disney World! Brian loves IGP and it’s fans and is very happy that you are visiting our website!
Alasdair Robert Wilkins ‘10 was born of British stock. Since immigrating on an aeroplane in 1991, he has called Illinois and New Jersey home, leaving him with an allegiance to the Cubs and a New York City inferiority complex. Despite these handicaps, or more likely because of them, he has crafted his sense of humor into the cynical, no-holds barred improv genius that it is. His career goals include screenwriting and being Batman.
Kevin Thomas Burrows ‘10 (The Czar of IGP) spent the first six years of his life living in the Bay Area in California. At the age of six Kevin was granted Official Earth Cadet status in a park in Oakland by a robot. After that he moved to the Danish Capital of America which is located in Southern California. Kevin spends his free time night blogging.
Jess Napier ‘10 is tha shiz nizzle. She cometh aus Angleterre. She bringeth la musicologie. Et elle et bad ass.
Ben Cosgrove ‘10 (piano, occasional other music-things) was abandoned as an infant in the wild forests of northern New England, and lived a life of self-sufficiency until he was adopted by a pack of wolves around the time of his late-toddler years. Rendered nonverbal by his unique upbringing, Ben learned to communicate with the others using only music. As he came of age and was revealed (amidst great controversy) as a human and not a biological wolf, the pack came to the solemn decision that it was time Ben sought out his own kind, and cast him south. He was soon intercepted by IGP, whose subsequent exploitation of his mute-but-for-music condition for comedic effect has afforded them great commercial success.
Scott Levin-Gesundheit ‘11 performs improv comedy of epic proportions, having recently portrayed a whale, the Sears Tower, and Cabin G of fat camp.
Ben Smith, ‘12 subscribes to the school of thought that believes those individuals whose parents have children are more likely to have children than those individuals who parents don’t. That being said, he is tolerant of individuals with different beliefs.
Graham Lazar, ‘12 My Name is Mike Bison. I’m half a buffalo, and half Mike Tyson. I’m a Matador…no wait…a minotaur. I’ll improv in your face, then I’ll put you in a pickle jar. I’m ferocious. I’m a hero. Praise me.
Aneliese Palmer, ‘12 likes making declarative statements without any basis. Improv is her boyfriend, but fishing is her hobby. She’s going to start a bakery.
Asher Lipson, ‘12 “How’s life?” “HOW’S LIFE!?” His life has been ineffably good since he decided that linguistics was his passion, and thusly, passion is his passion, love is his love, and love is everyone’s love (in different forms, which you can call: philosophy, economics, psychology, psychiatry, LOVE, GOD, or anything else). Right?
Chris Frugé ‘13 is the unholy hybrid of two other IGP members (you will have to find out for yourself which two). Harnessing the power of two improv comedians he is 173% funnier than an average person (27% is lost to heat). He is also dead sexy. And he likes to cuddle.
