He first started improvising with the Vancouver Theatresports ™ League.
He later trained at The Second City in Toronto and has since performed on almost every major comedy stage in North America. He has described his time at the Boardwalk Calgary Improv Festival as some of the most joyful shows he has ever performed. Get your tickets soon to see this Canadian comedic treasure. They will go fast.

Bassprov
Group, Chicago
Bassprov, featuring legendary improvisers and teachers Joe Bill and Mark Sutton, is a two-person longform improvisational comedy show comprised of two Characters: Donny Weaver (Sutton) and Earl Hinkle (Bill). On occasion , the duo are accompanied by a special guest performer playing either a Character from (fictitious) Manmore County or a "Cousin"
Donny and Earl (and their guest), sit in a 'boat' on stage, are fishing, drinking beer, and improvising stories based on several audience suggestions. They set up the audience with "good old boy" characters and then blow them away with intelligent debate, and often poignant insight into life in modern times.
Currently based out of Chicago, Bassprov has been performed in Theaters and Festivals all over the US and Canada.

Improv Guild
Host Group, Calgary
The Improv Guild was formed in the summer of 2003. Four improv artists created an actor’s co-operative whose mission was to create theatrical works using improvisation as both a performance and rehearsal tool. Their goal is to make Calgary, Alberta the hub of improvisational theatre, where improv actors can practice their art and grow the art form through co-operative projects with local and international companies and artists. Sometime, they remove their pants onstage.
This year we are proud to celebrate our tenth anniversary of our company. It’s been a funny, funny decade! Since 2008 the Improv guild has hosted the Boardwalk Calgary Improv Festival and watched with joy as the event gets better each and every year. Thanks Calgary for making the event such a success!
