g to know, he’s an excellent improv actor who hails from the great state of Nebraska. Today’s guest is Dylan Oakes Rhode.

Dylan is a graduate of Wayne State, and has trained and performed at UCB and iO. He now travels the country and the world teaching improv at various theaters and festivals. In 2011, Dylan founded Backline Comedy, which originally began teaching improv classes in the basement of a small art gallery. They recently opened their new theater, and have since become Omaha’s destination for live comedy shows. Dylan is also the founder of the Omaha Comedy Fest, which began in 2013 and has since been offering fans access to intimate shows and hilarious experiences with established and emerging comedians from across the country.

I had the opportunity to talk to Dylan just before one of his classes at Backline Comedy Theater. In this conversation, he shares about his early beginnings in improv and the process of getting his theater started. There’s a lot to learn in this conversation, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
