My guest today is improviser and actor Thomas Whittington (@tommy_chi). For the 20 or so of you who listen to this podcast regularly, you probably listened to my interview with Thomas’s wife Jen Spyra. I discovered Thomas on YouTube by watching clips from his character reels. I really loved the darkness and absurdity he brought to his characters. We talk about how he got his start in improv and what it was like working his way through the Chicago comedy scene, then moving back and forth from LA back to Chicago and then finally to New York. He talks about the various characters he worked on in preparation for his Just For Laughs audition, how he approaches doing impressions of famous comedians like John Mulaney and Pete Davidson, and his work in voiceover on Our Cartoon President.
