Jason Tyus Smith

Producer

Jason Tyus Smith is the Artistic Director at the People’s Improv Theater, overseeing in-house programs like Fresh Faces and The 24 Hour Sketch Show. A 2020 Film Production grad from Sam Houston State, Jason moved to New York to pursue film but found his passion in sketch comedy. He writes, performs, and produces with teams like Chimp Cocktail, Judy Pryor, and College Radio. In October 2024, he debuted his solo sketch show Intentional Slacker: The Fool Redux. Jason is thrilled to direct the absurd sketch team at PIT and bring his unique vision to the stage.

Executive Producer

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.
