Greg Proops

Greg Proops is, to me, one of improv comedy's true gunslingers. A Phoenix native and San Francisco State graduate with a famously quick mind, he made his name as the sharp-tongued, bespectacled regular on both the British and American versions of Whose Line Is It Anyway?. What I admire most is the nerve it takes to walk onto a stage with no script and trust your wit to find the laugh, night after night, for decades. Add voice work on Bob the Builder and a long-running podcast, and you have a relentless talker who never stopped sharpening his craft. I deeply respect that kind of durability.
