Deep Night Season 14: Tarik Davis

Dale activates some underutilized portions of his mind during this conversation with actor, improviser, musical talent and all around joy bringer, Tarik Davis. Dale talks with Tarik about honing his craft in a city that favors efficiency and how to shake off the bad energy of a not so great performance by making room for the experience of others. Tarik shares a meaningful story about drawing on the tools and training of improv to imagine a future rich in promise and Dale asks about his approach to being an announcer and sidekick with long-time collaborator Amber Ruffin. Plus how Dale came to appreciate the lightning quick improvisation of Freestyle Love Supreme. And Dale considers the impact of removing things from one place and putting them in another.
