Besser is known for his roles on both the Upright Citizens Brigade as Adair (as well as: the Jewish Mud Golem, the Unabomber, Bongboy, etc.), and the political debate show, Crossballs, both which aired on Comedy Central. A founding member of the UCB and the UCB theatre, Besser has become well known for niche comedy shows which appear regularly in LA and New York, often including guests such as other UCB alumns Matt Walsh, Ian Roberts, and Amy Pohler, along with SNL cast members Horatio Sanz, Rachel Dracht, and Tina Fey.

he can be a bit aloof, but he loves Del and loves improv and loves to spread the gospel to anyone about either.

i hope someone is going to at least hip him to the improv scene here...

If anyone wants to operate this dude's camera, email me ASAP.
I just got an email from a production friend of mine who was trying to hook me up but I won't be here.

In case you miss him here in Austin...

I emailed him a couple weeks back to see if he wanted to come teach a class and he just responded saying that his schedule is too tight and he's got to drive to Houston.
