Get ready for a wild ride with the one and only Dave Theune (Upright Citizen's Brigade improvisor, actor in shows like "I Am Not Okay With This" and the "Night Court" reboot)! Dave takes us back to his hometown of Cedar Grove, Wisconsin and shares memories of scrubbing the streets during the Holland Festival and his turn from sports kid to improvisor. From Cheboygan to the Northridge Mall, Dave dishes on everything he loves about Wisconsin. And let's not forget the main event - out brand new improv game, 'LOVE @ NIGHT with Bernie Love', is sure to have you in stitches. So, buckle up and join us for a chuckle-filled episode of 'Where I'm From' with comedic mastermind, Dave Theune. PLUS: What is Klompen dancing, anyway? Come back next week for Part 2!
