George Wendt: Chicago Style Improv

For over a decade, “Norm!” was a one-word American national anthem of sorts, thanks to George Wendt’s turn as one of the regulars on Cheers. But Wendt's acting credentials run deep and wide, starting with his early days at famed improv troupe The Second City and extending through his many turns on Broadway and occasional appearances on cutting-edge shows like Portlandia. Join Wendt in conversation with improviser and actor David Pasquesi for a master class in Chicago-style comedy and improv.
