Debby Bloom-Sketch Writer/ Improviser/Accounting Professor & Teacher

  1. Debby Bloom-Sketch Writer/ Improviser/Accounting Professor & Teacher Margot Escott 49:11

Meet my sketch writing buddy, Debby Bloom! Debby is a fantastic writer and we’ve been in many of the same classes and writer’s rooms at The Sketch School with Marc Warzecha. She has spent a lot of her life in Finance and accounting but several years ago she decided to spread her wings and learn new things. A very funny lady, she braved stand-up comedy, which you can see on her YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQmBJcuxb7w&t=51s.
But the grueling schedule of a stand up comedian wasn’t exactly her thing. She heard about this “improv” thing and was immediately drawn in taking all levels. During the pandemic she was looking at comedy classes, joke writing and saw Marc Watzecha’s Sketch School. She has been a dedicated student since then. Debby is multi-talented and has presented workshops on using AI in sketch comedy. She maintains her position as a professor teaching math. I know you’ll Love her sense of humor and enthusiasm as much as I do!

After working as a clinical social worker for over 30 years, I discovered the joy of Improvisational Theatre Games. Before that I presented classes and workshops on "The Healing Power of Laughter and Play" throughout the US and abroad. Since the 1970's I was trained as a New Games Referee from the New Games Foundation. But when I had my first class in improv I realized how therapeutic it is and began using improv in my clinical practice and special groups such as Improv for Anxiety and Improv for people with Parkinson's disease. In addition, I created class for several National Association for Social Workers (NASW) conference such as Fl. NASW, NJ NASW, OK NASW and corporations. There is viable research showing that improv helps with cognitive functioning, memory, decrease of anxiety and socialization. I'm delighted to teach folks of all ages this wonderful way to chase the blues away!
