About Lickety-Split

Lickety-Split Comedy is a comedy and improvisation group founded by veteran performers Karisa Bruin and Scott Morehead, who both came up through the Chicago comedy scene and have spent the last 20 years treading the boards of improv and sketch theaters large and small in Chicago, New York, LA, and beyond.  Karisa made her Thingamajig debut in Karl Isberg’s Last Call at the Riptide, and both Karisa and Scott have appeared in a variety of Thingamajig shows, including Tiny Beautiful Things, A Walk in the Woods, The Odd Couple, and Bakersfield Mist. With training from the UCB, iO, the Second City, Magnet, and Annoyance theaters, Lickety-Split brings high-level, professional comedy to Pagosa Springs. 

Lickety-Split offers improvisation classes that focus on games, character development, and ensemble work.

Improv Basics Classes are open to anyone, regardless of experience level. A willingness to learn and have fun is all that is required. It is Lickety-Split’s mission to bring fun, laughter, and joy to their audiences and students. They believe wholeheartedly that anyone can learn to improvise if they are willing to grow!

Class sizes are limited to ensure all participants get plenty of experience and feedback.

Karisa Bruin

She’s a “don’t quit it ‘til you get it” kinda gal. Some people find it annoying, but not you. You think it’s inspiring. She brings her diverse background as a writer, director, actor, and teacher to the fore when leading teaching classes and workshops, helping you to tell your story. She’s also a college professor and mom, so she knows how to set expectations and scaffold skills…as well as relate to Gen Z. She’s anything but mid.

Who the Heck is Lickety-Split?

Scott Morehead

With a commitment to bringing his whole-self on stage, Scott brings an infectious (in a good way) energy to the room. He can keep up with his three young sons, so you know he’s ready to lead your team on a fun, high-octane wrestling match. But like, wrestling with your mind. And did we mention he screen-tested for Saturday Night Live?
