INSTRUCTOR, MICHAEL BRADT: Michael Bradt has been entertaining folks since birth, but formally as an improviser, comedian, actor, and instructor in the Chicago and northern Indiana area since the late ‘90s. He has produced, directed, and performed in thousands of comedy shows. In his youth, he won a stand-up competition organized by Dave Odd Productions by having more friends than any of the other comedians, which was the greatest win of all. Once, he heckled David Spade on the floor of a Vegas casino until Spade escorted himself out. Michael earned a B.S. in biochemistry a LONG time ago. He taught high school biology, chemistry, and physics before going back to law school and earning his J.D. (also, a LONG time ago). While he moonlights as a comedian, he established his own real estate law practice in 2010. After his first foray into owning an improv theater in the mid-2010s, Michael and his wife and forever scene partner Kelsey opened The Bit Theater in Aurora, Illinois in 2021 with the intention of providing a welcoming, inclusive community where creative people can create. During the course of his nearly quarter of a century in improv, Michael has produced countless shows and trained countless improvisers. In 2024, Michael and Kelsey sold the theater and moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana to be closer to family. Michael's passion for improv can't be tamped down, so he sought out opportunities to help grow the improv community of Fort Wayne. Michael's passion for improv can't be tamped down, so he's been seeking out opportunities to help grow the improv community of Fort Wayne ever since.
