Hey guys,
My name is Abbas and I took 4 classes with Shana in Merlin Works. She is the best teacher and a wonderful performer ( She did a solo scene with 7 characters in last Maestro, and it was an absolute 5).
Ok, It is my intro; As you might know by now, English is my second language. About 6 months ago I decided to go to an English class in Austin. Just to Extend my speaking and listening skills. Well, I didn't qualify for any English class, so I decided to do Improv! (jk, I actually could get into "English 101"!)
In the class, I learned a lot, had fun a lot( which was kind of unusual for a class), and found some good friends. It helped me to stop planning ahead and being more spantenous , to feel that it is ok to fail, to misunderstand or not-understand and even to be not-understood! you understand right?
My favorite shows are Maestro, GGG and Get up, and many other shows ( I'm very picky!) and most of the improvisers I met in Austin are fantasticly funny(I'm also very specific)
Cool, now you know me...

Abbas is cool. You may have seen him at the Hideout on Saturday, selling tickets for Maestro. He also comes to a lot of the jams.

Welcome (er, sort of, I've known you for a few months)!

Abbas is SOOOO the man. I think we both went to the jam for the first time on the same night. He is the most improved improviser I've seen! He was so shy and know he just sweats funny. Very playful and fun! Welcome
