Austin Improv

Look familiar?

It's Austin Improv's own Dave Buckman and this Saturday in the Blank Show at 11:30, we'll see all sides of Dave in a no-holds barred interview about the craft, the business, and his personal world.
We'll talk about the early days and how his mother was an artist, his college days at American University, to Second City directing under Mick Napier, to Amsterdam directing Boom Chicago and future famous folks, to Cleveland where he met his wife Rachel, and finally to Austin.

We find out what makes him tick and maybe uncover the answer to that age-old question, "Why Austin?"

We'll do the questionaire and take questions from the audience.
We'll also take a look at old video footage and lots of old pictures of the man himself.

Won't you join us, you students of improv, you students of life.
I hope you can.

merely just a sampling.

Just fyi - Dave and I aren't married

we are living togther in happy sin

...until further notice

hehe. sorry. i am eating my shoe right now.
also, another correction, dave's grandmother was the artist. his mother was what he calls a "super-feminist." it will be interesting to find out what that entails.

DON'T MISS THIS SHOW.

Awesome idea. I'm excited.

all i know is that i probably shouldn't ask rachel if she wants to come up and see my etchings. the rest is semantics.

Roy, thank you so much for the icon on the austin improv site. it looks awesome.

thanks for doing that, gents. it entertained and inspired and made me think about some things that i would not have otherwise. dave buckman, long may you wave.

Neat.
