Troy is an internationally touring comedian, actor, writer, producer (and former college teacher!) who has been supporting himself with his art for years. I’ve watched Troy grow as an artist on the indie comedy circuit and I marvel at how he has learned to patiently nurture an idea to its full potential and maximize his opportunities. Whether he’s embodying Jesus or George Bush, his work is sharp and hilarious and it has helped him attract established comedic talent as collaborators and mentors. As always, Troy generously shares some great suggestions about how to take a good idea and run with it (including his step-by-step method of putting butts in seats.)
