JoKyR & Jesster - Saturday @ 10PM
JoKyR and Jesster
is Joseph Kyle Rogan and Jesse Parent, two of Utah's most prolific improvisers.
Together they perform high stake, character driven improv with a combined
experience of over 24 years and a combined weight of over 315 lbs.
While working side by side for two years as directors of the troupe Knock Your
Socks Off (KYSOff), the duo quickly became sick of never getting stage time
together. Joe and Jesse finally decided to perform as "JoKyR and Jesster"
at the Utah improv jam Septemberprov in September of 2003, performing a duo
format they call a Shellac to audience acclaim. A Shellac, now their signature
form, is a high stakes long form driven by strong characters exploring thematic
elements presented by conversational monologues that bookend the piece.
Striking a nomadic union, they have since brought their energetic and
intelligent brand of improv to numerous venues throughout Utah and across the
continent. While both men are married, they are not married to each other,
contrary to popular belief and the gossip surrounding that "event" at
the KYSOff Christmas party.
