We had the good fortune of connecting with Amey Goerlich and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amey, what inspires you?
Our community of comedians, We have had people start at our theater as audience members and then they take improv or sketch classes with us and end up on the stage performing. They make amazing friendships and it makes us so happy to provide a safe space for them to be creative.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Started doing improv and sketch comedy in NYC at the Upright Citizens Brigade in 2001-2016. I fell in love with improv and the transformative aspects of the art. It changed my mental health and well being for the better.. Allowing myself to be playful and less judgmental in my every day life. I wanted the world to know about improv comedy and it’s a delight to be able to have my own theater here in Denver to provide that opportunity to others. I could not be doing it without my co-owners Robert Abbott and Zak Roland and all the amazing performers and students.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Most of my friends are from NY or LA so i would want them to see the beauty of Colorado. Red Rocks for a day time adventure.
Uchi for some amazing Sushi.
Central Market for a variety of treats.
A walk down South broadway to enjoy the eclectic vibes.
A stroll through baker to see all the historic houses.
A show at my theater Chaos Bloom of course.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Chaos Bloom Theater. We are a little community of comedians that started together during the pandemic. We did outside shows and taught classes online until we could get back inside.
