His first book, Improvise: Scene from the Inside Out has become required reading for many improv students. With the Annoyance, Mick has spent more than 25 years developing and cultivating a style of work and production that has been both acclaimed and imitated. As a Director and Artistic Consultant for the globally renowned Second City, he made his mark, having directed more than 10 revues there including the 40th and 50th Anniversary revues, and Paradigm Lost, which earned him a Joseph Jefferson Award for Direction.
