Improv has made Abe more okay with being an awkward guy, and he loves teaching improv because he wants to help rid everyone else of their debilitating self-consciousness, too. Abe has taught at WIT, as well as Dojo Comedy, in addition to coaching a wide variety of teams in DC, including Love Onion and Press Play.
