MPZ says: You have been entertained by Patrick Bristow many times but he is most recognizable from 4 seasons on ABC's "Ellen." and over 100 miscellaneous half hour and hour credits and feature film roles like "Showgirls". He was a member, teacher and director of The Groundlings main company for 5 years. His own improv company and school, "Improvatorium" has made a mark with their structured, costumed, improvised, full length genre-inspired plays. He is also the co-creator of The Jim Henson Company's Drama Desk nominated, off-broadway phenom, "Stuffed And Unstrung". His classes are ongoing improv workshops committed to fostering ensemble approach, creating short or long form stories, maintaining a non-competitive and supportive atmosphere. He says, "Everyone already knows how to improvise because daily life is an improv. Once we remove the barriers of nerves and the need to control, we can apply improv techniques much easier and to better effect."
