From stand-up to sketch to improv, Matt Besser (one of the founding members of arguably one of the most influential institutions in comedy) is quick to point out that he wouldn’t be who he is and the UCB wouldn’t be what it is without his teacher and mentor, Del Close. Plus hear why stand-ups “should embrace, not revile, improv.”
