It is impossible to discuss the Columbus Improv scene without talking about my homie Scott Wheeler. One of the most genuinely kind people in the Columbus Improv scene, he has been performing since 2016 and tells us all about his journey. Find out about the time his friends shared their relief at how MUCH he improved as a performer (they thought he sucked), and how he has used his connections to create opportunities for other performers.
