They used to be seen together regularly at Unexpected Productions, Seattle's largest improv theater, and Sisters of Sal, an award winning long-form group that won Seattle CageMatch and has performed with Ryan Stiles. Now with Claire transplanted to Connecticut, John and Claire can only be seen on special occasions when the stars align to put them in the same city.
Sea Tea Improv

Sea Tea Improv The eight members of Sea Tea Improv (Summar Elguindy, Joe Leonardo, Greg Ludovici, Matt Neufeld, John Perez, Julia Pistell, Dan Russell and Kate Sidley) met through the Hartford Stage Studio training program in the summer of 2008.

Formed in the Fall of 2008 by alumni of Claire Zick's improv classes, the group came away winners in the first Connecticut Improv Cage Match. In addition to Playhouse on Park, the group has also performed at The Buttonwood Tree in Middletown. Group members Frank Mohr, Kevin MacDermott, Rachel Fichman, Sue Voss, Teagan Smith, and Ted Felekey are all especially friendly and good looking and will resume their regular gig at Plainville's Zen Bar in November.
