Come one come all! DROP-IN Classes are meant for improvisers of all levels to come into one community & practice exercises that develop into masterful scenes!

As of March 2023, we ask that students reach out to info@thepit-nyc.com no less than 24 hours before a Drop-In Class for which they have registered but cannot attend. Credits cannot be guaranteed. Please make reservations at your own discretion. Our classes and jams are great additions to Drop-In Classes.

**Although it is very rare, facilitators are subject to change without notice.

Instructor

Ali Reza Farahnakian

Ali Reza Farahnakian

Writing and Auditioning for SNL

Ali Reza Farahnakian was born in Esfahan, Iran in the fall of ‘68. He came to America in the summer of ‘69. He is an immigrant. He is not eligible to seek the office of the presidency in America and is therefore a second class citizen in this country. Maybe that’s why he got into “comedy”. His teachers include Michael McCarthy, Charna Halpern, Del Close, Maryanne Thebus and Wynn Handman. He is an alumnus of ImprovOlympic, The Second City Chicago and SNL. He was a founding member of UCB and The PIT. He has acted at The Steppenwolf, BAM, and Playwrights Horizon. He has been in numerous TV shows, commercials, films and voiceovers. He has been doing this work for over three decades because he loves it and because it doesn’t seem like work. We started The PIT in 2002 in New York City.
