COMEDY and TIME IN EDITOR
COVERS: Stand-up, sketch, improv, TV, DVDs, Radio, Podcasts, Video Games, "hilarious" YouTube forwards.
Heisler joins TOC after numerous work-related stints. He's freelanced for Metromix.com's nightlife section, tackled PR and account management in the advertising industry, rustled up business for a corporate training company and harnessed the sheer educational power of improv comedy to teach rambunctious youngsters the importance of creative writing. A computer-science major dropout, Heisler settled on a psychology degree from Washington University in St. Louis, repeatedly ignoring his odd attraction
to the college's weekly arts and entertainment paper. He relocated back to Chicago (where he grew up) and fell into its thriving comedy scene through Second City and I.O. classes.
Ask me about: The literary merit of Calvin and Hobbes, music you'd like based on your iTunes library, why Macs are infinitely better than Windows computers, bars that donÕt suck and my obsession with all things Chicago comedy.
