TJ and Dave
TJ and Dave are running an online Q & A session to kick start Hoopla’s 20th anniversary season!
TJ Jagodowski and Dave Pasquesi are award winning improvisers who improvise a one-hour play. They have twice won the Del Close Award for Best Improvised Show, the Nightlife Awards New York award for best comedy performance, the Chicago Improv Festival Improvisers of the Year award, and the Chicago Reader Best Improvised Show award. TJ and Dave are also authors of the fantastic book Improvisation at the Speed of Life.
Their shows have incredible emotional connection and playfulness with a natural discovery of hilarious characters, relationships and story. It’s an honour to have them running an online Q & A with Hoopla to share their style of improvisation with the London improv scene.
“TJ Jagodowski and Dave Pasquesi miraculously improvise a one-hour play at every performance. This is an impressive feat of mental athletics, but the results are also observant, complex and frequently enormously funny.” – The New York Times.
“BRILLIANT, HEARTBREAKING, MIND-BLOWING, INSPIRING! The best 50 minutes of improv comedy that we’ve ever seen.” – Time Out New York.
The session is for experienced improvisers who are fans of TJ and Dave and want to learn from them.

How will the online Q & A work?
