Paul Vato reconnects with his old pal from Chicago, Jonathan Pitts, an award-winning international improv theatre artist and storyteller who has performed and/or taught in 26 countries and 98 cities. They discuss the early days of Salsation, the world's first Latino improv and sketch comedy group and what it's like to travel the world teaching and doing improv. Jonathan reminds us the importance of saying "yes, and" to yourself!
