Marisol joins Jennifer and David on a bridge to talk about the ghosts who do improv, how she got started in improv and was instantly hooked, and she even does her famous Tom Hanks impression.

Marisol Chavez took her first improv class in 2013 (in spite of what she might have said in this podcast) and immediately fell in love with the art form. She is constantly amazed that improv has allowed her to travel all over the world to perform (and is always looking for the next festival to apply to). She is obsessed with the Harold, and she loves finding connections between improv and everyday life.
