Improv Comedy Site - Howard Buchin
How It Started
It started simply by seeing an ad for improv. Upstairs @ the Black Swan at Danforth & Broadview. I always wanted to do improv acting. My clerk job was just wending on it's way without me. How long would they take to ask me ''Have you got a minute Howard?'
The daily grind began to take take a toll on me. I found improv and there was a new self emerging. Playing variety shows or chaos shows was great! Any shows, I always like to stay & to play!

Improv proved to be a first class ticket to a far away place! A big thanks to Ralph and Gord Oxley and others for helping relaunch me and my zany ideas. On-stage there is a certain freedom found nowhere elese. Come find your 'Waterloo!' At the Black Swan Comedy Club. 154 Danforth Ave. Toronto (Broadview & Danforth 1 1/2 blocks East of Broadview)
I am found most Saturday's at the club from 6:00 - 7:30 P.M. For the more experienced pupils the advanced class is on Wed.'s 7:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M.

I've appreciated all the improv actors on the road with me, since I really love playing oddball roles, be it the doting Scottish mother, Overbearing Dad,Strict hockey coach, Rough around the edges teacher,Customer from hell, Backstabbing co-worker, or Neighbour from across the Pond asking for a cup of organic sugar, it's all good clean fun! The best kind there is!
Iif you are anything like me, you will stand and wonder what the next audience is going to offer as per a location, idea or skit, and then what are we to dream up to play the scene?
Soon you can be in a state of wonder too......Just like me. I hope to see you soon!
