Reminiscin' to Zyxx
9/30/202557 min
The cast takes a trip down memory avenue – pretty sure that’s the saying? – to talk about their personal origins in improv, the heyday of UCB New York, and the comedy shows and experiences they’ll never forget, even if they might want to. You’ll finally learn how many cast members cleaned toilets to get free improv classes. And in case you didn’t hear, The Young Old Derf Chronicles will premiere on Dec 3rd!
