The Coach

Adrian Vazquez is a founding member of the All Out Comedy Mainstage Cast, and has been coaching improvisers since 2006. In 2018, he piloted All Out Comedy’s monthly improvised not-for-kids puppet show “The Felt Experiment” which drew big, enthusiastic audiences until he and the puppets were driven indoors to do music videos about the Pandemic.
