Chet Watkins
New York
Founded by Armando Diaz in 2009, Chet Watkins has been a staple on the New York improv scene, providing well acted and physically risky long form improv at the Magnet Theater. Think Sam Shepard meets an episode of All in the Family meets your actual mom telling you about the birds and the bees. In their current form, this ensemble takes a mundane event from an audience member’s week and mines it via a short interview for one of life’s big questions which serves as the jumping off point for a one act play. Masters of the monoscene, Chet Watkins never disappoints. They perform in an open run every week at the Magnet under the direction of Jodi Lennon (Exit 57, The Annoyance, Second City).
