He got his start with improv in Atlanta, GA with an independent troupe made up of improvisers from troupes across the city.

Scott Field, Co-Founder
Scott Field loves everybody. He's annoyingly optimistic about people and situations and has gotten into trouble because of his open, tolerant disposition. Easy to laugh, Scott will make you think you're awesome even if you're not. A career classroom teacher in middle and high schools, Scott has a genetic goofball tendency which he honed at Improv Boston for seven years. He helped create the Improv Nashville Theater on 12th South and performed with Music City Improv before teaming up with Luke to open Third Coast Comedy. You can see him in Raccoon Log Ride, Celebrity Crush, Crash, Leone, and occasionally a Third Coast Comedy Show.

Improv), bartender (The Bar at Third Coast), media lead / show manager (The Far Booth), and crash test dummy (Redbull Flugtag). Bill loves the concept of hats, but hates to physically wear one.
