Pakistan, Calling Les

May 21, 2009

Les McGehee is hilarious. He and his improv comedy troupe Comedy Sportz have rounded the globe spreading laughter and good, clean fun, so it’s not such a surprise when Les receives notes and praise from all over the world about Comedy Sportz and his book Les McGehee Plays Well With Others.

There are improv comedy groups in both Mexico and Germany touring shows based loosely on his book, but most recently, Les received a note from Pakistan, that he says “makes [him] very proud.” Located in Islamabad, the improv fans found Les through Facebook. They shared some information about their own improv group, set up a teleconference with Les, and sent the following note:

“LES!! You got my message!! lol! I’m so glad you tagged me back. The thing is that, down here in Pakistan, we don’t have a lot of resources to tap into when it comes to specialized forms of performance arts, like improv. So your book, is kinda our improv BIBLE. or Koran for that matter.
;-). Also, the expertsvillage videos were a major bonus.”

On communicating with fans world wide, Les says, “What a fun thing for me!”
