Under St Marks Improv Side-Coached Show

Side-Coached is an improv show in which performers improvise live based on an audience prompt, all along being side coached by our experienced improv teacher Ian Herrin. In this first season we aim to experiment: at times one large team, at times two smaller teams, will perform in the first part of the show, then we will jam with audience members who put their names in the hat.

Our show is an offshoot of East Village Performance/Practice Group that started in Spring 2025. Our gratitude goes to Under St Marks Theater that fostered our group.

Ian Herrin is an actor, improviser, and teacher with over a decade of long form experience who has performed at PIT, Magnet, UCB, and festivals all over the East Coast. Ian is the host of the long running improv show The Ian Herrin Improv Hour (IHIH) which has featured Special Guests from Saturday Night Live, Late Night with Seth Meyers, Comedy Central, Logo TV, E! Network, TLC, VH1, IFC, truTV, et al. Ian now teaches at the UCB and passionately cares about making scenework even more accessible to improv students of all backgrounds. He simply can’t wait for you to be included in what would normally be a behind closed doors intimate improv experience at Side-Coached in the historic Under St. Marks Theater.
