“Fred was one of the best teachers I’ve ever had (from any field). He was always enthusiastic, engaging, insightful, and entertaining. It was obvious the entire class felt that way too.”

13237699_10102846246965061_6934033916627461458_n.jpg

I am a performer, improviser,


composer, and teacher

I graduated from the Pig Iron School / University of the Arts in Philadelphia with an MFA in Devised Performance. Before that I was a Latin and Greek teacher with an undergraduate degree in Classical Philology from Harvard University.

I have performed, directed, and coached improv comedy since 2013. I startied out in Philadelphia, spent some time in Ithaca NY, and now asm settled in Pittsburgh PA. I have facilitated team-building workshops for organizations like Comcast, Google, the Wharton School of Business, and the Johnson School of Business at Cornell University. I was once paid to recite Duchamp’s manifesto in a men’s bathroom at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

I now work as a freelance facilitator, trainer, and team coach, focused on collaborative skills and applied improvisation. I am based out of Pittsburgh PA.
