About the Instructor: Miles Amiri (he/him) began taking improv classes in 2017 with Goodnights Comedy Club and Moonlight Stage Company. From there, it was a mix of improv and standup at open mics around the Triangle as well as occasionally hosting shows for touring indie bands.
He has had the pleasure to teach, coach, and perform improv and sketch with a smattering of troupes across multiple theaters, states, and festivals like SF Sketchfest, Last Word Comedy Festival, Fun & Dumb Improv Festival, and ioFest Chicago.
