Actor Fires Back at Ashton Kutcher’s Decision to do Brown Face
“If you’re going to be racist, at least do it well.”
TRUE DAT. NO MORE CLOWNING. It is NOT FUNNY.
For realz? No, that can’t be for real… brown face and fake accent? Seriously? Not funny Ashton. Not cool AND not funny.

I had wanted to interview Charlie Todd for some time - and then we managed to do this right before a Cage Match (thus the background noise). It was really great to talk to Charlie! Thanks you for doing it!!
We interviewed Charlie Todd right before Cage Match a few weeks ago - he tells us about his experience at the UCB and with Improv Everywhere, and gives valuable advice to our students, and to the everyone in the comedy / improv community in general.

About Me
I am a French-Iranian woman in New York. I have a passion for comedy, and have been lucky to be performing all over New York since 2010. I was a TV producer and a head writer for a morning live news show in France, as well as a free lance journalist and a book editor for many years.
I am also a performer at the UCB & The PIT in New York.
Check out my indie teams: Pou&Nic and PANTS!.
My other blog: Women Improvisers Trust
I am involved with the Diversity Initiative at the UCB and manage their blog too: UCBDifference.tumblr.com
Some of the things I do outside of comedy and my day job:
I fight cancer with a passion - I want to contribute to a world where cancer will be as benign as a simple cold. Where you can donate against cancer of any kind and give hope to families and patients
