Improv Q&A: Zach Guikema

Name: Zach Guikema

Grade: 11th

1. How did you get into improv? Why did you decide to try out?

“I got into improv because I was looking for something to do during the summer. I wanted to try it because I was bored with the long summer that COVID gifted to us.”

2. What is your favorite improv game? Give us an example. 

“My favorite improv game is “Bachelor.” There are three people that the bachelor needs to guess, but he does that while sticking to questions that you might ask on a date. It can get extremely funny, and I love playing.”

3. Tell me a story. 

“Once upon a time, there was a Philly cheesesteak. It lacked in the art of cheesesteak-ing, so it became a sub instead. The End.”

4. What US landmark speaks to your soul? 

“Emerald Lake in Glacier National Park. No seriously, LOOK IT UP!”

5. What’s your Culver’s order?

“Double butterburger with pickles mustard, and extra onion.”

6. What’s the best FHC bathroom? 

“The best bathroom is the one down by the band room and DeMeester’s room.”

7. Give us your best car salesman pitch for improv. 

“Free friends, fun laughs, and plenty of wheelchairs.”
