If you don't know me, you wouldn't be here. But just in case, here's a little about me.

Here's my official bio, which sounds way better than what I wrote below

Dan Izzo -- Dan has taught improvisation at Columbia College, the Second City and at the Annoyance Theater. In addition to teaching he performs in "The Neutrino Project" as well as with the improv ensemble "the mighty." Dan coaches the Playground Theater's member ensemble "Mr. Fancypants" and has directed Mr. Fancypants in "Terrorslide!" an improvised horror movie spoof, which the Chicago Reader described "as intelligent as the horror-flick and improv-comedy genres allow." He also directed "Free Mason Jar!" for the Playground's Directors Series. Dan directed the Conspiracy Theater Company's second play "Cubicle Rats", which the Chicago Reader praised for its "uniformly excellent technique and sly, perceptive conceits" He has appeared in "The Mysteries of Harris Burdick", "Angry White Guy Reads the Paper" and "Sickest F*cking Stories" at WNEP Theater, he has appeared several Annoyance productions including "Co-Ed Prison Sluts", "Manson: the Musical" and "What Every Girl Should Know, an Ode to Judy Blume."

I was born and raised in the near south suburbs of Chicago. I went to Catholic high school, college and law school. Catholic in culture, I am agnostic in thought.

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame, cum laude with a degree in Psychology. After that I went to law school, and graduated magna cum laude from Loyola University of Chicago Law School. I practiced law for a few years with rather large law firms, making rather large sums of money, until I decided to chuck it all and pursue a career in the theater.

I've studied at Player's Workshop, the Second City Conservatory, ImprovOlympic, the Annoyance and the Audition Studio.

I teach improv at Second City, the Annoyance, and at Columbia College.

I have a dog.

I need to make this page better.
