Improv Addict

About Me

My name is Jesse Parent. My life is consumed by work, family, and improv, right now. I enjoy meeting folks in the improv community in Utah and beyond. More about me at http://www.jokyrandjesster.com .
I have maintained and created many Web sites for many years. I refuse to do anything overly elaborate with this space. It's like working at an ice cream shop and then coming home and not wanting to eat ice cream.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

You!

Movies:

Legos



Improv Comedy - JoKyR and Jesster display the horror of war crimes through a child's eyes.

Santa Laws



Improv Comedy - JoKyR and Jesster show that Santa Claus has a few rules that can't be broken.

Oh, Universe....

Sometimes you beg the universe for some direction.  For some sign.  For ANYTHING! And then, sometimes, the universe won't shut the fuck up.

Sweeney Todd = C & C

Flat Tire

As much as I despise having a flat tire, there is something quite satisfying about being able to change your own tire. Now, if I had heard this statement 10 years ago, I would have said, "Duh!  W...
