Robbie Grant is the former president of U of T Improv, alumnus of Second City Improv Training Centre and has been an improviser for over 10 years. Robbie believes improv comedy has the power to heal, give people confidence in other areas of their lives and allows people to embrace risk and vulnerability. Above all, it is an avenue for good times with good people!
