(1992 - 2025) Lisa Bergen, theoretically someone with a job, died this week after doing improv. As an orphan who was an orphan for as long as she's been an orphan, Bergen spent her days on this volatile planet hitting comedy clubs in the hopes of making a go of it in the Brooklyn improv scene. Despite completely never telling anyone anything about her passion for performing for fear of getting killed by her boss, Bergen was best known (or not-known) for her improv comedy group Elbow's Head - drawing crowds of sometimes six people. Her rival group One Foot A Head will host her memorial will be next week, with a secret performance on ukulele by her co-worker Daniel at the subway station over Bossa Nova Civic Club. New Episode Thursday!! (you can follow Adrienne Hunter IRL on insta @projectadrienne)
