Arts Alive! podcast: ‘Dirty’ John Huls

Actor, educator and longtime theater professional John Huls joins us for this edition of Arts Alive!

Huls has been the nucleus of the Dirty John’s sketch comedy troupe since its inception in 2019. He’d spent six years as American Stage’s education director; it was there he began teaching improv and standup comedy.

He liked the idea of “anything goes, no holds barred” comedy, and several of his students – actors and upstart standup comedians – thought a lot of it, too. So they started a theater group.

Dirty John’s combines sketch comedy, music and improv, with decidedly gay subject matter. Dirty John’s Drag Queen Summer Camp is onstage tonight and Saturday at The Studio@620 (tonight’s show is already sold out, but walk-ups are welcome and encouraged).

Tickets are available at The Studio website.
