Welcome back to “On the Spot-Light,” where I’m taking a closer look at the talented cast of On the Spot. (To learn more about this unique cabaret-improv comedy hybrid show, click here, and check out the first interview with cast member Meg Reilly.)

Next up in the spotlight, he is a playwright, improv comedian, and actor with an affinity for Shakespeare. He was also a semi-finalist in Bravo Television’s reality competition Situation: Comedy. Say hello to Chris Catalano!

How did you first get into improv?

In high school, my drama teacher started an after-school improv club. I haven’t stopped practicing and performing since.

Pick 3 comedians that best sum up your personal comedy style.

Albert Brooks, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik

How did you get involved with On the Spot?

After having left my troupe of 6 years, I started performing with Eight Is Never Enough, where I met all of the On The Spot crew.

What is your most embarrassing improv disaster?

Nothing prepares you for when your scene partner sharts while onstage with you.

Have you ever had a sketch or character created in On the Spot that you wanted to expand into more sketches or its own full-length musical? 

Every character I create already has its own full length musical and backstory lurking somewhere in my head.

What are you currently binge watching?

Years of improv has left my attention span in a shattered mess. Binge watching is about the hardest thing in the world for me. That being said, if Marvel makes it, I could be convinced to give it a few hours.
