🎙 It’s Alaska - New Episode Featuring Rich Capitan
Hosted by Brad Erickson of Erickson Events
Produced by Upper 1 Solutions in the U1 Studios
Originally from Michigan, Rich Capitan came to Alaska to work with wildlife — a journey that led him to the Alaska Zoo, where he now works in education. While engaging audiences and leading educational programs, Rich discovered he was naturally using improvisation as a tool for connection, storytelling, and learning.
That realization sparked a passion for improv comedy. In 2005, Rich joined Scared Scriptless Improv, where he developed his skills and became deeply involved in Alaska’s comedy scene. Building on years of experience, Rich has now launched ComedySportz Anchorage, a fast-paced, interactive, competitive improv comedy show where audience participation drives the laughs.
