The Gym: Improv and Sketch Comedy

Daniel Acker grew up in Columbus, Ohio and at a young age he knew he wanted to get out of there. He ventured west to the University of Southern California. There he worked with the improv and sketch group Commedus Interruptus. After university, Daniel joined up with fellow Commedus members, forming the troupe Trust Fall. He’s taken classes at UCB where he has joined a group of improvisers called Frenemies. He also takes improv classes through The Groundlings where he’s met the fun bunch that form The Gym. Basically, Daniel keeps busy with performing comedy. He frequents stand up clubs as well. So, if you don’t see him performing improv or sketch, perhaps, you can catch him doing some stand up. He hopes to make you laugh or at the very least turn to your friend and whisper, “He’s very funny.”

Favorite Gym Exercise: The Bench Press (I don’t lift the bar, but I find it relaxing to lay there)
Favorite Dance: The Robot (It’s a dance that robots will do in the future, but it’s sick…oh yeah, Daniel also can time travel).
Favorite Flavor of Otter Pop: Tough one, but I’m going to have to go with Little Orphan Orange. Definitely NOT Alexander the Grape.
