INSTRUCTOR: Kevin Delgado is a comedian, writer, improviser, and actor(jeez, what a renaissance man) based in North Carolina. He’s been doing comedy for over 20 years, which sounds impressive until you realize he started at only 11 years old. While other kids were worried about which Pokémon to start with(Charmander, the obvious choice). Delgado was preoccupied with bits and how to play the game of the scene... and Pokémon

He's trained and performed in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Charlotte, and Atlanta, and spent several years cutting his teeth in the Atlanta scene. You might have seen some of his work on Adult Swim.

Now in Durham, he performs, coaches, and teaches at Mettlesome(the best place). You can catch him being a goof on Mettlesketch every other month and every Friday with Hush Hush.
