Terry Withers had been a sales professional for more than a decade when he first tried improv. Then he noticed: his sales were improving. He had become a better listener, better at establishing rapport, better at reaching agreement.

​

This inspired him to launch his second career as an improv teacher and performer at New York City’s Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre. Combining his passion for improv with his professional acumen, he built and led UCB Theatre's highly successful sales team. He has since worked for major corporations leading improv-based professional development workshops and events.
