Revis and Zeiss
Jay Revis and Craig Zeiss explore life’s circumstances through improv, searching for the meaning, purpose, and honesty that lies in the human condition. Through this exploration, they expose the inherent humor in everything that makes us human.
Show Format:
We are a two person long form improv show. We take a suggestion at the top and go directly into scenes tied together by story. Scenes may unfold in a linear fashion or with time dashes, but it is a single-story show, not a montage of unrelated scenes. We are primarily influenced by the TJ and Dave show.
Tech Needs:
We will provide an opening and closing song on CD, or other format if desired. After the getting the suggestion, we would like the lights to go down then come back up as we begin the first scene. We like to close our show with a light fade over the closing track. No specific lighting requirements once the show begins, but the tech person is welcome to contribute to the show through lighting effects or fades between scenes as he sees fit.

Jack Lees
Jack Lees is a comedian. Yes, a comedian who thinks outside the box mostly because he was evicted from his apartment. His comedy is surreal, but for him it is reality. Jack’s considers himself more of a prophet than a comedian. Followed by an exaggerator.
Show Format:
I know this is just for Improv and Sketch. All I ask, please consider me after watching my video. I think…no, I know…no, I think I know adding me to the festival would be a great idea. Not the greatest, but better than good.
Tech Needs:
Just a mic
