Ben Cassil

Ben has been performing long-form improv since 2014, with training at UCB and WE Improv. Teaching-wise, Ben encourages improvisors to find their voice through non-judgmental awareness, positive feedback, easy-to-grasp comedy concepts, and experimentation. Ben structures each improv practice with targeted warm-ups, exercises and reps to accomplish each team’s goals. His goal is for improvisers to have fun and to leave practice feeling encouraged and equipped for their next show. He coaches in the Los Angeles area or virtually through Zoom.

Ben also teaches workshops at WE Improv focusing on initiating with confidence and playing voice of reason. He is currently on the WE House Team Cosmo, and the movie form team Hot Set. You can hear him on the podcasts “Live from the Big Apple” and “Totally Rad!”

Ben had great comedy teachers like Ben Siemon, Toni Charline, Mike Leffingwell, Alex Berg, Will Hines, Dennis Curlett, Joel Spence, Tara Copeland, Julie Brister, Jake Jabbour, Don Fanelli, Justin Michael, Sarah Claspell, Andrew Hansen, Josh Simpson and Ian Roberts. More information at bencassil.com.
