Improv and Psychoanalysis

Comedic daredevil Kevin Krieger is partnering with Rachel Troy, a real-life therapist and winner of the 2024 Hollywood Fringe Fest, to present his most daring stunt to date. Through a series of solo improvisations and live talk therapy sessions, Troy will employ her professional expertise in a not-so-professional way in an attempt to unlock Kevin's peak creative potential. Psychoanalysis is an exploration of the subconscious and unconscious. Improvisation is our vehicle for the journey.

Kevin Gregory Krieger is a comedian and director based in Los Angeles, CA. Combining standup, clown and improvisation, his live performances have taken him to stages across the region, including Pasadena’s Civic Center Auditorium where he was featured on NBC’s America’s Got Talent. Under the tutelage and direction of John Gilkey (Cirque Du Soleil), Kevin performed in the critically-acclaimed improvisational ensemble The Murge, which LA Weekly dubbed, "Spontaneous theater of the absurd…LA’s craziest improv show.” Kevin would go on to become an instructor for The Idiot Workshop where he fostered the LA clown community and took his place as "[a} fixture of the LA clown scene (LA Times)." In 2023, Kevin directed Claire Woolner’s solo show A Retrospection which was called “captivating throughout” by The New York Times and went on to win Best of Hollywood Fringe. Kevin co-owns a theater with Claire called PDA. It burned down in the fires. We will be back soon.
